Associate Professor Bhiamie Williamson, Monash University National Indigenous Disaster Resilience program lead, talking about how Indigenous knowledge can help reduce impacts of bushfires, floods and cyclones. When it comes to keeping all Australian communities safe by reducing hazard risk and managing the environment holistically, Indigenous knowledge of managing the environment should be considered a viable and valuable resource. However, doing this would require investment, resources, and a willingness to support broader aspirations of Indigenous groups. You can find out more via the link below!
