Disasters disproportionately affect rural, regional and remote areas. The bushfires we are seeing now are primarily in these areas, yet those affected communities often have limited capacity to invest in preparedness or to fund recovery following a disaster event. 

FRRR has assisted communities in their medium to long-term recovery since 2006. We know recovery takes time - years - and often it's 12-18 months after an event when community-level needs emerge.

That's why FRRR's focus is medium to long-term support. The Disaster Resilience & Recovery Fund will be invested, with returns used to provide flexible support for local priorities. Every donation will make a lasting difference, enabling FRRR to provide support where and when it's needed.
