NXT DISASTER RECOVERY RESPONSE
THE CHALLENGE
Over the summer of 2019 and 2020, catastrophic bushfires burnt through more than 17 million hectares of land across the country, causing serious injury, death and the destruction of towns, homes, farms and businesses.
The response, recovery and rebuilding efforts faced by governments and communities during this disaster were of an unprecedented scale, including the provision of shelter for the many families who were displaced by the fires.
Australian families who are forced to flee their homes during Australia’s bushfire seasons deserve to feel safe, secure and comfortable until their homes are rebuilt, and they can return.
An affordable but high quality housing solution is needed to help bushfire-impacted families, and we would like to do our part to alleviate the harm and stress experienced by our fellow Australians.
