Disaster Recovery and Preparedness Report

Disaster Recovery and Preparedness: Voices of children and young people from the Northern Rivers was launched by NSW Advocate for Children and Young People Zoë Robinson alongside a panel of young people at the Disaster Ready Together Summit in Lismore on Thursday 8 March, 2024. This report reflects what 635 children and young people told ACYP about their experiences of disaster recovery, preparedness and their hopes for the future. The report includes a number of recommendations on policy and practice reforms that they believe will improve recovery and preparedness responses for all children and young people in NSW.

We Acknowledge

That we are living and working together to recover from this climate disaster on Bundjalung Country, and pay our deepest respects to Elders past and present.
