Frequently asked questions

What is the project?

The Disaster Ready Great Ocean Road program is a tailored version of Resilient Ready’s innovative Business Community Resilience (BCR) Toolkit. The BCR Toolkit program builds regional connections and helps businesses to make small changes that have a big impact.

Run from June until September 2023, the Disaster Ready Great Ocean Road program covers 15 resilience-themed micro-learning modules. All modules focus on a locally-relevant topic and take 5-10 minutes to complete. Modules include two simple yes/no questions, a local business case study and easy-to-understand worksheets and tools.

Community and online workshops will be held to build local connections and social capital.

Program outcomes include:

  • Safer tourists and tourism operators
