Disaster Resilient: Future Ready is a national initiative that supports remote, rural and regional communities to lead initiatives that improve wellbeing, increase preparedness and strengthen resilience, so they have greater capacity to endure, adapt and evolve positively when faced with the impacts of climate, disasters and other disruptions.
In Wee Waa:
The Wee Waa community has established a Community Cultural Arts Hub where all members of the community can meet and share their artistic and cultural knowledge and skills, and the space also has a gallery where locals can display and sell their works. The hub is designed to be a place where the community meet and support one another and community resilience can be built.
A key activity from the hub is cultural tours, led by the Wee Waa Local Aboriginal Lands Council. The tours will take members of the community and visitors to the Tulladunna Reserve, a culturally significant site containing a Bora Ring and Scarred Trees. The tours will focus on providing traditional knowledge about the country so that community members can better understand how environmental factors can influence how the community is impacted by natural disasters, such as drought and flood.
