Following the February 2022 floods and the devastation experienced by community members within and surrounding Kin Kin, in southern Queensland, the Kin Kin Community Group (KKCG) shifted its focus towards future planning and the inevitable impacts of another natural disaster on their community. They aim to be better prepared with improved emergency systems to enable their people to operate more efficiently and effectively. With a $25,000 grant from the Rebuilding Futures program, Kin Kin has been able to purchase equipment and carry out activities to enhance the community’s safety, connection, resilience and wellbeing, and develop plans to establish a community hub that is accessible during disaster.
