About us
HowWeSurvive is a long-term, independently funded initiative at UNSW Sydney that aims to reshape disaster recovery by genuinely putting people first. Through research, education, advocacy and collaboration, our ambition is for stronger community-centred practices in all disaster recovery and resilience efforts. Working with community members and partners, we will build knowledge and share good practice about community-centred recovery. And we will work with governments and disaster response agencies to ensure that community-centred practices are integrated into policies, organisational frameworks and operating procedures. We believe this work can contribute to a systemic change in how disaster recovery and resilience is understood and implemented in Australia and around the world. Visit www.howwesurvive.com to find out more. You can also subscribe to our newsletter for updates and events. We look forward to sharing the journey with you.
