Resilient communities are strong, adaptable, and ready to face challenges - whether it's a disaster, changing climate, or everyday stresses.
Climate change is making extreme weather events more frequent and intense. It also brings new challenges that test our ability to cope and recover. That’s why it’s more important than ever to prepare for emergencies and adapt to a changing environment.
Resilience starts at home. When individuals, households, and neighbourhoods are prepared and connected, the whole community benefits. Strong social ties, a healthy environment, and a stable local economy all help us bounce back from tough times.
There are many simple ways to build resilience - by supporting local groups, joining community activities, or making small changes at home. Together, we can help build a more resilient Rockhampton Region.
