Simon and Rachel attended the Second Indigenous Local Government Disaster Resilience Forum Thursday 7 October 2021 in Cairns. It was interesting to hear about the water and food security issues in the Cape and what is being done to solve them and about solar security lights, solar drinking water solutions and the action plans and regional reslience strategies.
The highlight for Rachel was listening to the local Coppa (self titled) and the Defence Force activity about disaster management and planning. The facilitator for the day was TNQ Drought Hub Sustainable Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Enterprise Activity Lead Dr Allan Dale.
