The Centre’s research input into the Australian Institute for Disaster Resilience’s (AIDR) Handbook Collection continues to provide authoritative and accessible knowledge on disaster resilience principles to Australian disaster and emergency managers.
The collection promotes good practice and a common language for disaster resilience across several jurisdictions in the public, private and community sectors.
Centre and the previous Bushfire and Natural Hazards CRC’s research contributed to the handbooks below, which continue to grow in popularity and use.

“The Handbooks are an authoritative, trusted and freely available source on disaster resilience principles so it is essential they are underpinned by solid research and evidence. Natural Hazards Research Australia’s research provides a valuable input into that process across a range of subjects that are important to governments, agencies and individuals across Australia.”
