Australia is regularly affected by severe weather events. These events are growing in frequency and severity, leading to increased impacts for the Australian community.

The focus of the Hazard Preparedness and Response (HPR) program is to build resilience within the Australian emergency management sector.

We provide specialist advice through knowledge sharing, collaborative action and the development of strong relationships built on mutual trust and respect.
