Led by those with lived experience of climate disasters, Community Congress is a grassroots gathering that centres powerful stories, local knowledge, and community-led action. Hosted by DisasterWISE in collaboration with Resilient Lismore, the event brings together First Nations knowledge holders, local leaders, and grassroots organisers to focus on resilience, recovery, and renewal.

Join the next DisasterWISE Get-Together, where we’ll dive into the power of community resilience mapping and other practical ways to surface local strengths, relationships, risks, and resources.

DisasterWISE get-togethers are designed to bring together members of the DisasterWISE Communities Network, fostering connection, knowledge-sharing, and collaboration. These gatherings serve as essential touchpoints for members to share experiences about common challenges in disaster preparedness, response, recovery and climate adaptation initiatives.
