Resilience has never been this strong

We've been granted an exclusive Australian charity licence to Ready Take Action, the world-first platform that takes disaster management to the next level. Developed in Australia with input from our organisation, it is a comprehensive community disaster resilience platform - combining mobile technology, volunteer networks, AI, and powerful planning to transform how households, farms and communities prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters.

For decades, Australia's disaster management strategy has been defined by a 'reactive approach': waiting for the tragedy to strike and then spending billions of dollars on the clean-up. Ready Take Action overturns that 'yesterday thinking' by proactively mitigating and preparing, along with guiding people through disasters and helping with recovery.

Fire Disaster

Whether it is a house fire, grass fire, or bushfire, deliberately lit or naturally occurring, fires can be an incredibly disastrous event to face. 

Helping people and communities prevent and clean up after a fire is one of our core requests for assistance.

Flood Disaster

Floods can cause massive disruption to communities and individuals, and they're messy and sometimes take longer to deal with. Floods can occur as a result of various triggers, yet the devastation experienced by those affected rarely differs.

When floods strike, we're here to help clean up, repair, and recover.
