The Bushfire and Natural Hazards Cooperative Research Centre (BNHCRC) is undertaking research that supports the development of cohesive, evidence-based policies, strategies, programs and tools to build a more disaster resilient Australia. The Communications and Warnings Cluster research will focus on managing animals, hazard communications, connecting communities, and children and young people. The utilisation of the research by end users to the benefit of the broader Australian community is critical to whole process. With the new CRC in its formative stage, the input of community engagement practitioners in framing research questions is timely and important.
