What projects are suitable?

• Projects that help to minimise the risk and impact of natural disasters such as floods, storms, bush fires, earthquakes and heat waves; and

What is the Natural Disaster Resilience Program?

The Natural Disaster Resilience Program (NDRP) is a grant funding program established under a National Partnership Agreement that was signed by the Prime Minister and Premier of South Australia in December 2009.

The intent of the National Partnership Agreement is to:

• Reduce the risk from the impact of disasters.
• Build appropriate emergency management capability and capacity consistent with emergency risk profiles.
• Support emergency management volunteers.

The Agreement encourages governments to work together with volunteers, the private sector and non-government sectors in an effort to build resilience to emergencies and disasters.
