Cyclone Debbie – Rebuilding and Growing Climate Resilience
This BZE Radio episode was broadcast on Monday 26th June 2017
In this episode we spare a thought for the people made homeless by the Lismore floods as insurance companies deny a connection with the cyclone.
Find out how communities rebuild in the months after the media has moved on, and what forward thinkers are doing now to build up climate resilience in the community.

Thank you to our guests:
Janet Phillips : Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal
Rev Dr Margaret Mayman : Disaster Recovery Chaplaincy Network
Leigh Ewbank : Friends of the Earth
As climate change intensifies disasters, it rips up more than trees and bridges.
Vivien Langford speaks to Janet Phillips and Rev Dr Margaret Mayman who are helping people cope with the disaster.
As the Federal MP for this region, Justine Elliott says, we need “government commitment to long term planning” – to address housing and homelessness issues as well as helping to rebuild businesses and homes.
What about the “uber long term plan” of decarbonising our society? Is it insensitive to raise it in the midst of a disaster? Most media stories avoid it.
Our third item is about resilience planning. Leigh Ewbank invites us to a Friends of the Earth meeting. Citizens are door-knocking in country towns to find out what help people need to become climate resilient. They will present their recommendations to Premier Daniel Andrews so his climate budget will be wisely spent.
You can join this practical work. Just turn up at FOE in Smith St Fitzroy 6.30pm on Monday evenings.
Please also support the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal.
