Overview
With every reason to be proud of operational responses to
catastrophes Australia must ask whether its policy and funding models
are equally strong. Have responses to events in these past months
been the best we can do and will they serve us well into the future?
Can we produce better results that drive future productivity and
resilience through recovery?
This CEDA half day thought leadership forum will take discussion
beyond the current economic outlook and policy. It will:
x
present international experts and expertise on natural
disasters with commentary on what Australia can learn and
adopt
x
examine how to strategically manage the economic, business,
community and policy impacts of major catastrophes
x
provide ideas and provoke thought as to how best we future
proof with policy and funding models to better manage large
scale risks
This year, Australia has faced an extraordinary number of natural
disasters, costing the national economy approximately $7 billion. In an
increasingly globalised economy, the knock-on effect of disasters
spreads far beyond the direct economic and social impact to the
countries where disasters hit.
The Australian response in 2011 has seen establishment of new policy,
new authorities and new funding models, while other existing policy
settings remain untested - are current recovery models sustainable, or
are business, government and community accepting that each event
will require its own? How can the 2011 recovery adopt and
demonstrate betterment, and position us well for the predicted increase
in major weather events into the future.
