Disasters are at our doorstep and are affecting more people than ever before. From natural disasters to terrorist attacks, these events are increasing in both scale and frequency. How prepared are we, and what have you done to improve your own resilience? Derrick will discuss the importance of community disaster resilience.

He is the 2019 Commonwealth full-ride scholarship recipient awarded by the Australian Institute of Disaster Resilience for his ongoing studies in disaster management and response.
