Each stream begins with a group of projects where participants will hear from lead researchers on the project’s progress, their insights and use relative to that theme. Following on from the morning presentations, attendees will continue the discussion with researchers and end-users into utilisation workshops to share practical methods and solutions. 

These utilisation workshops are an opportunity for researchers, end-users, government and community to foster collaboration, gain knowledge and share insights to help shape the future of research use. 

Risk-informed decision making

This stream collates a range of projects that are equipping stakeholders, from community members to policymakers, with the information they need to ensure their decision-making is informed by current and future natural hazard risks.  

Situational awareness 

The situational awareness stream hosts projects that better equip emergency management decision-makers and operational staff with the information they need to respond to and plan for disasters. 

Resilient communities and Country

Research under this stream enhances disaster-resilient communities and cultural land management. The utilisation workshop includes a panel of researchers and end-users to discuss effective use of research. 

Workforce 

The workforce stream highlights research that improves the physical and mental health of workers in emergency management. The projects enhance decision-making and capabilities for emergency services, agencies, not-for-profit organisations and government. 

Infrastructure

The infrastructure stream will inspire future thinking for infrastructure resilience. The first session brings together researchers to discuss innovation for resilient infrastructure as informed by science. The workshop will then bring together key end-users to discuss how to invest in infrastructure to enhance resilience and risk reduction.
