National, State and Local resilience is a shared responsibility. We help governments activate a collective approach to building resilience by driving social capital-led collaborations, knowledge building and outcomes.
CONSULTING & WORKSHOPS
All levels of Government are challenged by the current era and future impacts of compound disasters. We offer strategic advice, project delivery and stakeholder facilitation to Federal, State and Local governments.
DISASTER GIVING COLLECTIVE
The cost of disasters puts enormous pressure on Government across all levels. Our Disaster Giving Collective is a national approach to establish national good giving principles that connect goodwill giving to community needs.
All-hazards approach
While most focus is on natural disasters the reality is we live in a new world of interdependencies and innovation where the threat from unnatural disasters can be just as harmful.
As a result, the everyday threats to our communities and businesses exists not only from bushfires, drought, floods and pandemics but also from the likes of biosecurity, cyber attacks, industrial incidents and acts of terror.
Disasters are becoming the new norm, yet we still approach them in a traditional way – in silo.
At C2C we always take an all-hazards approach because more than 80 % of the processes associated with the preparedness, response and recovery for one type of impact will be relevant to every other.
