The The Returning Indigenous Corporation is partnering with Plan C (A Northern Rivers NSW disaster resilience and regeneration organisation) to hold two camps in the coming months.
This program recognises that Indigenous communities are often on the front line (both as victims and volunteer responders) in times of disaster and crisis. It also recognises that Indigenous communities are more vulnerable to the impacts of disasters and often live on community outskirts and fringes beyond the reaches of many support mechanisms.
The program consists of two five-day camps providing participants with a comprehensive range of disaster resilience skills, including emotional, social, and practical competencies. By integrating cultural knowledge with practical disaster preparedness skills, the camps will provide an opportunity for two-way learning in the community.
