In this week’s episode of Doing Disasters Differently, Renae is joined by Mark Duckworth, Associate Director at the Centre for Resilient and Inclusive Societies (CRIS) and Senior Research Fellow at the Alfred Deakin Institute for Citizenship and Globalisation at Deakin University, with more than 30 years’ experience in senior public sector and resilience roles, including contributing to the National Strategy for Disaster Resilience (2011). Together, they explore whether governments truly trust communities, unpacking the role of trust, social capital and social infrastructure in disaster resilience, and why resilience must be built with communities, not delivered to them.
