Weather the Storm – Women Prepare

The National Rural Women’s Coalition (NRWC) has launched a new project, Weather the Storm, working with groups of women in communities at risk of, or recovering from, disaster. Through facilitating the awareness of potential disasters and developing women’s leadership capacity, the program will support families and communities in preparing for a range of disasters. It will aim to connect together a group for ongoing support, encouragement and community resilience.

This program will develop and trial a manual and toolkit in Victoria and Queensland.
