To better understand the physical and social vulnerabilities our communities face in the event of a disaster, and how we can build a more resilient community, we are meeting and working with our neighbourhoods.

The City of Melbourne is working on a four-year project called Prepare Melbourne, to ‘engage and prepare residents and communities to enhance their resilience to hazards, disasters and the health impacts of climate change’.

We have completed Community Resilience Assessments in Southbank, Kensington, Carlton, West and North Melbourne and Docklands. Find out what we heard and the next steps.
