Our research with men and women – in the community and in the emergency services (EM) sector – after Black Saturday has informed the following resources to help us all respond constructively and help those affected by these widespread, frightening fires:
- A five minute interview to explain gender and family violence in disasters: http://thewire.org.au/story/bushfire-domestic-violence-link/
- A guide for community recovery workers – based on hard-won wisdom from the Black Saturday fires in Buxton
- The DHHS funded ‘Roadmaps’ provide a quick way to understand how gender determines disaster risk and experience, even if you have only five minutes.
- Webinar (sadly still current): https://www.1800respect.org.au/news-and-media/press-release-archive/violence-in-times-of-disaster-october-2016/
- The GAD Pod CV has links to all our research, journal articles and to conference proceedings.
- Subscribe to our GAD Pod Communique and @GAD_Pod twitter account for updates.
- Family violence framework for emergency management. Melbourne: DHHS. (Recommends the use of GAD Pod Roadmaps and training.) https://providers.dhhs.vic.gov.au/family-violenceframework-emergency-management
