When we think about managing the impact of natural disasters, we tend to focus on response and recovery. Perhaps unsurprisingly, this attitude is reflected in the funding of natural disaster management, with 97% of funding directed to efforts to clean up and rebuild. In the face of natural disasters becoming more frequent, the CEO of the Northern Rivers Community Foundation, Sam Henderson argues that we need to shift funding towards building community resilience and social capital, to better equip communities to respond to floods, fires and other catastrophes.
