This poster provides an overview of the role of regional NRM organisations in disaster resilience.

Australia’s NRM sector is national infrastructure providing interlinked, regionally embedded expertise and capabilities for improving landscape-resilience, including disaster resilience.
NRM regional organisations continue to strengthen their capabilities to embed disaster resilience into core planning and programs, including through nature-based approaches.

First presented at the Disaster and Emergency Management Conference in July 2025, this poster gives a high-level summary of contributions of regional NRM organisations to disaster management including:

  • Lessons from the 2019-2020 bushfire season
  • Emergency response and preparedness plans for natural and agricultural assets
  • Nature-based disaster risk reduction
