As #climatechange escalates we must prioritise place-based community-led preparedness. The community will always respond and will always be frontline responders for on-ground recovery. We must be resourced to do so #floodinquiry #nswfloods

Where is recognition of critical role of community-led initiatives in recovery. It’s longer and more complex than response. Community must be included, valued and recognised as key participatory stakeholders. We must focus on community-led recovery #floodinquiry #nswfloods

Disappointed with ambivalent reference to #climatechange. These events will increase in frequency and intensity & we need a strong adaptation response that recognises that #floodinquiry #nswfloods

Community still waiting for any detail about buyback, land swaps, relocation. People urgently need certainty, choice and direction. #floodinquiry #nswfloods

Good news that the NSW SES are getting a boost in funding. Here in Lismore we want a refocus on local knowledge; prioritisation of community engagement with big increase in staff; & reimagined volunteering structures to allow for surge & community response. @NSWSES @stephcookemp

Lived experiences and direct storytelling always cuts right through to the heart of the matter. Thanks @JoDodds6 for leveraging your community stories and taking meaningful action with Bushfire Survivors for Climate Action #WeAreCIC2020
Our Community@OurCommunityAU

Hearing a harrowing story from @JoDodds6 surviving the 2018 bushfires in Tathra, urging us to take climate change seriously. "Do not wait until the fire is at your door until you do something to bring change." Content warning: bushfires youtube.com/watch?v=-PcYHK… #WeAreCIC2020

13,000 hectares of forest to be opened up for logging in the Lismore electorate and buffers reduced to 5m from our head waters - totally unacceptable @ThomasGeorgeMP #nswpol

Good to hear almost every speaker today talk about disaster resilience, after our experience with floods in 2017 cannot emphasise enough how important it is to be ready. Keen to see funding for preparedness not just mitigation #LGNSW2018 @LGNSW

In professional development around 70 councils are now using our LG Capability Framework, have attended workshops or are undertaking capability assessments through our new online tool, PD in a Box – which as far as we know – is the first tool of its kind in the world. #LGNSW2018
