How National Policy is Shaping Disaster Resilience: Upcoming AIDR Webinar

What does it take to turn global frameworks into real action at the local level?

Join the Australian Institute for Disaster Resilience (AIDR) for the next instalment of its Resilience Matters webinar series, where national policy meets practical implementation in disaster risk reduction.

🗓️ Webinar 3: The Policy Context – From Global Frameworks to National Documents

Date: Wednesday 23 July 2025
Time: 1:00pm – 2:00pm, AEST
Location: via Zoom (Free registration via AIDR)

This session will feature Andrew Minack, First Assistant Coordinator General – Policy and Governance at the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA). Andrew will unpack how national and international frameworks—like the Sendai Framework, the National Disaster Risk Reduction Framework, and Australia’s Second National Action Plan—are influencing how we prepare for and respond to disasters.

Expect insight into:

• How national strategies are being operationalised across states and regions

• What barriers still exist in embedding resilience into everyday systems

• Why a whole-of-community approach remains critical

Whether you’re working in policy, practice or community engagement, this webinar will offer valuable context and connection points for how your work contributes to a more resilient future.

🎙️ Hosted by John Richardson, Executive Director at AIDR.
