In 2022/2023, RUKI participated in the Community-led recovery: evidence, dimensions and supports for Community Recovery Committees project led by a team at The University of Melbourne. The project provided guidance and tools to Community Recovery Committees, building on previous work conducted after the 2019-20 Black Summer bushfires. The research explored four case studies in four different states across regional, urban, interface and remote communities who had experienced either a flood or bushfire, along with surveying disaster recovery workers. RUKI was one of the case studies.
This webinar, hosted by Natural Hazards Research Australia, summarised some of that research and featured:
- Dr Colin Gallagher, University of Melbourne
- Hannah Morrice, University of Melbourne
- Melanie Bloor, Resilient Uki
- Dr Blythe McLennan, Natural Hazards Research Australia
While some questions from the Q&A session were addressed in the webinar, time ran over and so the speakers responded to some of the outstanding questions in an extended written response to the Q&A, which you can view here.
