QUT Centre for Justice member, and PhD student, Monica Taylor has recently written for The Conversation on the topic, “Disaster season looms, but the senate inquiry has failed to empower communities.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“This week, a Senate committee examining Australia\u2019s disaster resilience tabled its long-awaited report<\/a>\u00a0in parliament.<\/p>\n

The 151-page report makes ten recommendations. These concern funding arrangements, mental health supports, emergency volunteering models, and the need to establish a national asset register.<\/p>\n

Overall, the report captures a broad selection of issues in disaster management. It acknowledges the views and perspectives of many stakeholders.<\/p>\n

However, its recommendations largely focus on volunteers involved in the immediate disaster response. This will not make Australians more resilient to disasters, because communities need long-term support to develop their capacity to bounce back. Deeper structural reform is required.”<\/p>\n

Monica has researched extensively on the topic of Disaster Justice.\u00a0 Her PhD is titled, “Striving for climate justice: The role of the Legal Assistance Sector in responding to climate change-informed civil law needs of priority population groups in Australia.”<\/em>\u00a0 \u00a0Read more about Monica’s work here.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Monica was also involved in the recently released QUT Centre for Justice Disaster Justice Briefing Paper Series and was a co-author on two papers titled:<\/p>\n

“Community-led disaster management: Insights from flood-affected communities across South-East Queensland”<\/a><\/p>\n

“A human rights analysis of Queensland Disaster Management Arrangements.”<\/a><\/p>\n
