The contemporary management of natural hazards promotes building community resilience through risk management and comprehensive attention to prevention, preparedness, response and recovery. Achieving adequate planning for possible disasters requires identifying and understanding the geographical attributes, both physical and social, that may contribute to the resilience and/or vulnerability of places to such events. Subsequent disaster and community planning can then be strategically applied to enhance resilience. Referring to recent events, this session will workshop the geography of community vulnerability and resilience to disasters, identify the links to strategic response and recovery, and discuss how resilience can be built during these operational phases. ]]>

With the Australian Curriculum: Geography to be taught in many Australian schools by non-geography teachers, the issue of what it means to think geography will need to be explored during professional learning activities in coming years. Through the use of the Australian Curriculum: Geography concepts and a range of thinkpieces, the workshop will develop with participants a model of geographical thinking, which identifies the teaching of geography as a unique experience, quite different to the thinking in other disciplines.]]>

In truth geographers are in the ‘box seat’ to blend the new with the old. We can use the ever changing and expanding array of ‘apps’ and explore understandings of the world around us in ways that are dynamic and with opportunities to model alternative futures – all within the constructs of geography, its standards and its traditions.

This data has been used by many key agencies including Emergency Management Queensland, Australian Defence Force, Queensland Reconstruction Authority, Flood Commission of Inquiry, Bureau of Meteorology, local, state and federal agencies, non-government organisations, the Insurance Council of Australia as well as the public. This presentation will explain the critical role spatial information played in the response to the recent disasters in Queensland and how we plan to deploy it in future events. These examples highlight the importance and value an understanding of Geography has to effective communication and decision-making by both providers and consumers of geographic information. Presented by Steve Jacoby, General Manager, Spatial Information, Department of Natural Resources and Mines (QLD)
