ALPINE Resorts Victoria (ARV) has successfully secured $125,000 from the Risk and Resilience Grant Program for the development of the ARV Strategic Natural Disaster Risk and Resilience Roadmap, the statutory authority announced last week. The Risk and Resilience grants program is funded in partnership with the Commonwealth Government’s National Emergency Management Agency through the National Partnership Agreement on Disaster Risk Reduction, to provide support to organisations to deliver locally identified initiatives that reduce the impact of natural disasters and build community resilience. According to ARV, their Strategic Natural Disaster Risk and Resilience Roadmap will confirm ARV’s essential infrastructure, holistically assess the strength of current defence mechanisms to protect these resources, rapidly identify priority areas for structural and process change to establish a higher level of defence and resilience, and assess disaster recovery protocol provides improved community and business continuity when faced with natural disasters. The development of the roadmap will help to strengthen ARV’s emergency management response and capability to maintain business continuity during and after these events, providing a clear benefit to the ARV community and visitor experience.
