Resilient Nation Australia - Mission Statement

The following was contributed by Wraptinweb? (A.N) who acknowledges the contributions and incorporated content of NathanaelB. .It should be read in conjunction with the Core Values.

Resilient nation Australia is a community project to improve effective and efficient responses from people and organizations to plan for, prevent, mitigate the extent of, survive and recover from, disasters.

This is achieved by using best business practice and emerging technology to:

• Create a coherent framework for resilience planning and implementation across the spectrum of community and government organizations and private and public sectors likely to be involved in serious adverse events.
• Recognise the cross-jurisdictional nature of disasters and create ways to cross boundaries including all levels Government, private and Public sectors;
• Assist coordination, cooperation and collaboration across jurisdictional boundaries through the development of collaborative tools and techniques; so that the entire community can be leveraged in times of trouble (e.g. ability to utilize volunteer drivers and vehicles to mobilize instant and massive supply chains for food, drink, medicine and support of front line firefighters and victims).
• Identify likely scenarios, resource requirements, communication gaps, planning and collaboration issues across the community and organizational matrix, and then;
• Identify and remedy areas where specialist knowledge can extend the reach of existing services, e.g. converting Radio National Web Audio to a non proprietary form to reach all significant web browser platforms.
• Support and encourage the coordination, development and delivery of awareness and education programs across the private and public sector.
• Support the coordination of information management and service delivery across Government, private and non-profit sectors so that there is common information on remediation and not-for-profit services across the community.
• Maintain a knowledge base in easily accessible formats (web standard.. blah blah) of all information produced by RNA and stakeholders for the benefit of all users (is this the right place for this? we do want to have a knowledge base don't we?)
