ENCOURAGING
VOLUNTEERING
AS
A
STEP
TOWARDS
COMMUNITY
RESILIENCE
The
Federal
Department
of
Family,
Housing,
Community
Services
and
Indigenous
Affairs
acknowledges
that,
“The
impacts
of
disasters
on
the
community
are
not
necessarily
determined
by
the
scale
of
a
disaster
but
are
significantly
influenced
by
the
preparedness
of
the
community.
Community
resilience
is
the
capacity
of
groups
to
withstand,
recover
from,
and
respond
positively
to
crisis
or
adversity.”1
Resilience
is
promoted,
FAHSIA
notes,
“through
programs
that
encourage,
create
and
develop
resources
and
connections
that
can
be
drawn
on
in
times
of
crisis.”
Programs
“that
encourage
community
connection,
financial
independence,
social
inclusion,
[and]
volunteer
assistance”2
are
supported
by
the
Federal
government
in
the
context
of
enhancing
disaster
resilience.
HardenUp.org
will
direct
traffic
on
to
www.extremeweatherheroes.org
in
order
to
inspire
young
people
concerned
about
climate
change
to
get
involved
with
emergency
volunteering.
Links
to
Volunteering
Queensland’s
listed
local

opportunities
will
encourage
community
participation
to
deepen

more

as

of
our
growing

challenge
builds.
PRACTICAL
OUTCOMES
Practical
outcomes
of

include:
1)
Measurable
awareness
tracked
through
website
analytics
and
participation
in
social

2)

4)
Tracking
of

5)
Tracking
of
“personal
resilience
plans”
that
include
measures
taken
to
protect

6)
Creation
of
a
scalable

organisations,
businesses
that
have
a
commercial
interest
in
resilient

DISTRIBUTING
MESSAGE
Green
Cross
and
our
partners
fully
appreciate
the
importance
of
developing
a
message
that
is
aligned
with
existing
Local
Government,
State
and
community
agencies
with
critical
disaster
response
roles.
We
also
recognise
the
potential
for
inadvertent
message
duplication
given
the
complex
nature
of
how
the
emergency
response
system
interacts
with
the
public.
The
unique
features
of
this
proposed
program
include
a)
the
integration
of
hazard
awareness
building
tools
underpinned
by
state-‐of-‐the-‐art
science
with
top
resilience
building
support
using
materials
and
insights
from
corporate,

and
government
sources;
b)
use
of
world
class
multi-‐media
tools
that
encourage
high
levels
of
individual
engagement
and
social
interaction;
and
c)
a
practical
way
of
encouraging
the
community
to
close
the
gap
between
adaptation
and

in
the
aftermath
of

which

Risk

-‐
Katrina

to
be
an
abject
failure
of

and
government
leadership.
We
have
learned
important
lessons
from
Black
Saturday
that
now
need
to
inform
community
resilience
strategies
and
methods
for
fully
integrated
responses
from
all
tiers
of
government.
Stakeholders
copied
in
this
open
letter

to
talk
constructively
before
our
next
major
weather
event,
not
afterwards.
We
look
to
government
to
assist
engaged
community
and
business
sector
leaders
in
developing
integrated
response
strategies.
We
look
to
all
stakeholders
to
improve
community
understanding
of
and
resilience
to
severe
weather
risks.
Information
asymmetry
–
Compared
to
government
and
business
stakeholders,
the
community
at
large
is
ill
informed
about
coastal
severe
weather
risks.
Conflicting
reports
about
the
extent
of
sea
level
rise
and
severe
weather
trends
make
it
challenging
for
informed
investment
decisions
to
be
made.
Many
residents
in
storm
surge
exposed
areas
do
not
understand
under
what
circumstances
they
are
insured.
As
digital
elevation
mapping
information
becomes
more
readily
available
through
research
investments
by
all
level
of
governments,
communities
need
to
access
this
in
better
ways.
Retrofitting
for
resilience
–
Modest
investments
in
practical
resilience
measures
can
reduce
building
damage
rates
significantly.

The

to
incentivise
retrofitting
for

at
the

time
as

should
be
explored.

6. BUDGET
AND
MILESTONE
OVERVIEW
A
total
investment
of
$1.034
million
is
proposed
including
In-‐kind
partner
contributions
to
the
value
of
over
$250,000
over
two
years.
A
budget
outlining
$779,800
in
NDRP
funded
costs
and
$254,300
in
partner
contributions
is
included
as
Appendix
1
to
this
report.
Value
for
money
is
achieved
through
the
significant
reach
of
the
platform
and
through
leverage
provided
by
the
significant
in-‐kind
contributions
of
our
partners
which
include
the
cost
of
message
development,
outreach,
project
liaison
support
and
in
the
case
of
Network
Ten
state-‐wide
community
service
announcements
to
supplement
paid
TV
advertising
offered
at
a
discount
to
commercial
rates.
Assuming
that
contracts
are
finalised
and
funding
is
received
by
January
2011
we
aim
to
have
a
live
fully
functional
site
by
June
2011,
with
promotional
outreach
in
place
leading
into
storm
season
and
continuing
into
2012
when
our
focus
will
build
into
social
networking
pull
and
viral
media
marketing.
We
are
confident
in
our
ability
to
actively
engage
a
minimum
of
60,000
Queenslanders
through
HardenUp.org
with
20%
of
these
fully
participating
in
the
program
and
sharing
progress
across
Facebook,
which
considerably
leverages
the
outreach
of
the
program.
If
12,000
Queenslanders
shared
their
Personal
Resilience
Plans
including
rich
media
severe
weather
graphics
with
30
friends
each,
the
project’s
reach
would
include
360,000
people
whose
awareness
has
been
improved
at
some

PERFORMANCE
TARGETS
The
project’s
success
will
be
measured
based
on
hard
awareness
targets
such
as
the
number
of
“unique
visitors”
that
visit
the
website
and
the
number
of
people
who
register
a
Personal
Resilience
Plan
and
share
it
on
their
Facebook
page
and
through
a
dedicated
Twitter
feed.
We
aim
for
60,000
Queensland
residents
to
visit
the
site
over
24
months
with
12,000
participating
fully
across
diverse
regions,
including
development
of
Personal
Resilience
Plans
that
are
shared
across
their
Facebook
pages.
As
the
attached
Project

highlights,
Green
Cross
calculates
that
currently
there
are
1,337,200
Facebook
users
over
the
age
of
18
in
Queensland.
Surprisingly,
there
are
408,440
Facebook
users
in
Queensland
over
the
age
of
40,
and
74,740
over
the
age
of

We
expect
that
the
age
of
HardenUp.org
users
will
broadly
mirror
the
background

To
put
our

indicators
into
perspective,
consider
that
since
going

in
February
2008,
www.greencrossaustralia.org
has
received
165,000
pageviews
from
36,000

SUPPORT
LETTER
FROM
NETWORK
TEN
N E T W O R K
T E N
Network TEN Brisbane is delighted to partner with Green Cross and provide significant support to
the Harden Up Programme.
In recent years TEN has developed its own identity in the areas of environment and sustainable
living through the introduction of its ‘Making Your Mark’ brand under which it promotes its
involvement in and commitment to the space and provides support to like-minded organisations.
As a major Australian corporation the TEN Network’s commitment to the communication of the
environmental message has been recognised with acceptance onto the FTSE 4 Good Index and
the ASX Sustainability Index (AuSSI)
On a local level TEN has thrown its support behind a number of local and state government
initiatives including the Ezygreen Project, a combined Queensland State and Brisbane Local
Government initiative aimed to promote positive changes in the use of energy at a household level.
In providing its support to the Harden Up Programme TEN will aim to actively engage with all
programme partners to ensure the messages for all involved are delivered in the most effective
and efficient manner.
In addition to the promotional messages TEN is happy to provide their weather presenter as an
ambassador for the launch period of the programme. The station also produces environment and
science based programmes aimed at children and teenagers aged 12 to 18 years. We would also
be happy to consider the opportunity to link the programmes to the Harden Up programme and
provide access to the personalities where appropriate.
I am looking forward to supporting this valuable initiative including the delivery of community
service announcements to improve community awareness and resilience.

Potential
financial
impact
of
a
major
cyclone
event
The

re-‐insurance
industry
is
acutely
aware
of
growing
severe
weather
risks
associated
with
a
warming
planet
and
growing
coastal
population
growth

economic
development.

Re’s
assessment
of
the
estimated

if
the
1967
event
referred
to
by
Roger
Tomlinson
had
taken
place
100
to
150
kilometres
further
south.
Potential
losses
could
reach
US$8-‐14billion
–
which
does
not
take
into
account
un-‐insured
economic
losses.
This
factor
becomes
increasingly
important
as
the
price
of
residential
severe
weather
insurance
becomes
prohibitive
for
SEQ
residents
exposed
to
flooding
and
storm
surge.
Gold
Coast
exposure
This
image
borrowed
from
Jim
McNoulty’s

helps
to
focus
the
mind
on
the
dramatic
changes
that
have
taken
place
on
the
Gold
Coast
(not
to
mention
across
Brisbane
and
the
Sunshine
Coast)
since
our
last
major
weather
event
took
place
in
the
1960s.
Within
this

the

with
the
following

The

was
conducted
without

and
took
place
in
the
presence
of
an
audience
of
200

leaders
from
across
manufacturing,
service
and
resource
sectors.
We

delighted
that

Key
points
arising
from
the
2010
Cyclone
Hypothetical
Risk
mitigation
-‐
Katrina
proved
to
be
an
abject
failure
of
integrated
severe
event
response
and
government
leadership.
We
have
learned
important
lessons
from
Black
Saturday
that
now
need
to
inform
community
resilience
strategies
and
methods
for
fully
integrated
responses
from
all
tiers
of
government.
Stakeholders
copied
in
this
open
letter
need
to
talk
constructively
before
our
next
major
weather
event,
not
afterwards.
We
look
to
government
to
assist
engaged
community
and
business
sector
leaders
in
developing
integrated
response
strategies.
We
look
to
all
stakeholders
to
improve
community
understanding
of
and
resilience
to
severe
weather
risks.
Information
asymmetry
–
Compared
to
government
and
business
stakeholders,
the
community
at
large
is
ill
informed
about
coastal
severe
weather
risks.
Conflicting
reports
about
the
extent
of
sea
level
rise
and
severe
weather
trends
make
it
challenging
for
informed
investment
decisions
to
be
made.
Many
residents
in
storm
surge
exposed
areas
do
not
understand
under
what
circumstances
they
are
insured.
As
digital
elevation
mapping
information
becomes
more
readily
available
through
research
investments
by
all
level
of
governments,
communities
need
to
access
this
in
better
ways.
Retrofitting
for
resilience
–
Modest
investments
in
practical
resilience
measures
can
reduce
building
damage
rates
significantly.
For
example
during
Cyclone
Larry
buildings
built
to
the
post
1980
building
code
level
incurred
much
less
damage
than
pre
1980
buildings.
Poorly
maintained
buildings
also
incurred
significantly
more
damage.
The
opportunity
to
incentivise
retrofitting
for
resilience
at
the
same
time
as
encouraging
household
energy
efficiency
measures
should
be
explored.

Investments
in
protective
infrastructure
can
deliver
significant
savings
in
light
of
growing
severe
weather
risk.
A
$1b
investment
in
raising
levy
walls
in
New
Orleans
identified
in
2001
could
have
saved
losses
of
$125
billion
from
Hurricane
Katrina
in
2005.
A
1991
US
EPA
study
quantified
the
cost
of
protecting
resorts,
coastal
developments
and
prominent
wetlands
from
a
1-‐metre
sea
level
rise
at
US$471
billion
(in
1991
dollars).
Australia
should
quantify
coastal
adaptation
priorities
and
cost
these
to
identify
immediate
“value
for
money/life”
investment
priorities.
Harmonising
standards
and
aligning
them
to
research
trends
–Standards
and
building
codes
vary
across
geographies
in
Australia,
and
this
makes
it
challenging
for
developers
and
planners
to
achieve
uniform,
best
practice
results.
At
the
same
time
research
findings
are
out-‐pacing
code
development
so
more
flexible
mechanisms
are
needed
to
encourage
resilient
new
developments
in
response
to
population
growth
and
housing
shortages.
Integrating
mitigation
into
adaptation
investments
–
Unless
all
retrofitting,
new
building
and
protective
infrastructure
is
delivered
through
low
emissions
technologies
and
materials,
the
greenhouse
cycle
will
be
refuelled.
Given
affordability
challenges
a
revitalised
focus
on
incentives
for
affordable
sustainable
solutions
is
needed.
The
combination
of
sustainability
and
resilience
must
be
applied
with
particular
emphasis
in
post-‐disaster
recovery
efforts
to
achieve
ECO-‐RESILIENT
outcomes
consistent
with
Green
Cross’s
“Flowerdale
Build
it
Back
Green”
sustainable
bushfire
recovery
initiative.
Aligned
incentives
–
Eco-‐resilient
new
developments
can
result
in
cost
savings
for
some
sectors
(eg
energy
providers)
and
extra
costs
to
others
(eg
developers).
Likewise
the
payback
on
eco-‐resilient
investments
will
occur
over
difference
timescales
for
different
stakeholders.
In
order
to
progress
model
eco-‐resilient
new
developments
and
retrofitting,
incentives
need
to
be
aligned
across
sectors.
Cost
curve
for
adaptation
–
Just
as
McKinsey
and
more
recently
ClimateWorks
have
quantified
the
cost
curve
for
the
full
suite
of
mitigation
measures
required
to
deliver
emissions
cuts
across
the
Australian
economy,
adaptation
cost
curves
should
also
be
developed
to
enable
fast-‐tracking
of
best
value-‐for-‐money
investments
and
provide
net
economic
benefits.
This
will
enable
practical
action
priorities
to
be
adopted
transparently.
Practical
actions
are
likely
to
include
community
behavioural
change
priorities
according
to
recent
insurance
research
and
these
should
be
encouraged.
Novel
insurance
responses
should
be
investigated
–
The
potential
for
government
schemes
which
trigger
immediate
payout
under
specified
severe
weather
conditions
should
be
evaluated.
The
historical
debate
about
government
underpinned
flood
insurance
takes
on
a
difference
sense
of
urgency
given
climate
modelling
predictions.
In
the
US
FEMA
has
compulsory
but
affordable
flood
insurance
requirements
for
hazard
identified
high
risk
zones
–
its
time
for
Australia
to
seriously
consider
new
approaches
to
insurance
because
this
can
become
a
good
educational
tool
as
well
as
improving
preparedness.
Public
information
campaign
–
Federal,
State
and
Local
governments
have
invested
considerable
funding
into
research
that
can
inform
households
across
Australia
about
severe
weather
resilience
challenges
in
their
local
areas.
However
less
progress
has
been
made
in
community
engagement
with
this
vital
information.
Collaborative
business/government/community
programs
that
raise
awareness
about
severe
weather
preparedness,
risk
exposure
and
response
strategies
must
now
be
prioritised.
Community
self-‐reliance
and
informed
investment
objectives
should
underpin
awareness
campaigns.
Greater
coordination
of
research,
public
outreach
and
stakeholder
engagement
activities
across
all
levels
of
government
and
community
action
would
strengthen
Australia’s
ability
to
become
resilient
from
and
respond
to
severe
weather
risks.
Green
Cross
encourages
stakeholders
to
consider
the
merits
of
involving
the
Australian
Carbon
Trust
in
a
greater
coordination
role
that
links
mitigation
efforts
while
improving
community
resilience.
The
UK
Carbon
Trust
has
engaged
on
resilience
and
adaptation
matters
in
the
context
of
decarbonisation
programs
and
this
is
a
model
that
could
greatly
benefit
Australia.
