Extreme weather events are becoming increasingly frequent in Australia, especially in the tropical state of Queensland. Cyclones, bushfires and floods ravage the northern state, and this is more commonly seen due to the effects of climate change. “Climate change is happening and I don't think anyone would be denying that as we see extreme weather impacting our communities,” says Rockhampton mayor, Tony Williams. Currently, 97 percent of the countryA's disaster funding is spent on recovery, while only three percent is used on the resilience and mitigation efforts that could prevent devastation and displacement in the first place.
Suncorp plans to help ensure the homes in every street, neighbourhood and community can stand up to every storm, not just recover from them. Welcome to the Resilience Rd project.
