How you can protect your business from disasters and crises

The First Nations Disaster Resilience Program supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander tourism operators and organisations to prepare for, respond to, and recover from natural disasters and other business disruptions.

It was funded through the Commonwealth and Queensland Governments through the Queensland Resilience and Risk Reduction Fund (QRRRF) and delivered by the Department of the Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation (DETSI) and Articulous.
