Project Overview
During Resilient Ready’s evolution, founding company corporate2community had been funded to deliver a FREE two-year project to build resilient business communities across the Blue Mountains.
The Blue Mountains Business Community Resilience Project focused on building preparedness, resilience and wellbeing.
Funded by the Bushfire Community Recovery and Resilience Fund (BCRRF), this project was empowering local businesses across the vulnerable Blue Mountains region in NSW to get ahead of future disasters.
In collaboration with the Blue Mountains regional business network, BusinessBM, this project took an innovative approach to the vital role businesses play.
We know that together we’re stronger, and by better connecting businesses we can bring everyone along on the journey and create a more resilient local economy.
