Disaster Relief Australia understands that the best way for a community to manage and take ownership of its post disaster recovery is to ensure that community is heard, valued, and educated before that disaster occurs.
For the DRA team, community led discussions and forums, such as a Big Map session, are second nature We do this via DRA’s Operational Big Map. Based on military war game theory, the Big Map is a visual device for stimulating innovative thought. Created using GIS technology, the Big Map is an opportunity for a community to gather and work together to identify risks, share experiences, and discuss ways we as a community can better prepare ourselves for events that may occur in the future.
