Standards Development

Scope

This document provides an eight-stage process to collaboratively enhance resilience to disruptions that arise from emergencies, disasters, or crises. It describes how a Local Resilience Partnership (LRP) can work with the public, civil society, voluntary, community, and business sectors to address needs in society that have been created by a disruption. The process describes how the LRP can develop a Local Resilience Capability (LRC) that encourages self-help and helping others and focuses on the needs of priority groups.

This document covers:

— how the LRP can co-design and create a capability to enhance resilience to disruption;

— partnerships and establishing a shared vision;

— risks, vulnerabilities, needs, and community assets;

— implementation and management of capability;

— evaluation and continual improvement.

This document takes a whole-of-society approach to enhancing resilience by adopting principles and developing systems to support societal networks, organizations (from private, public, and voluntary sectors), community groups, and individuals.

This document is applicable to any organization to enhance the resilience of society to disruption.
