Graduate Research School For Candidates Prospective Candidates Available Projects Farm safety: Disaster and resilience
Farm safety: Disaster and resilience
Title of Project
Farm safety: Disaster and resilience
Name of Advisor/s
Richard Franklin
College
College of Public Health, Medical & Veterinary Science
Summary of Project
The number and severity of disasters is increasing and the impact of these are felt throughout the community, however one of the most vulnerable populations is farming, as they often experience drought, flooding, fires and for those in Northern Australia cyclones. Unlike other businesses the impact of a disaster may mean that they are unable to produce any income in a given year and this effects the family, workers and communities in which they are involved in. This project would explore the impact of disasters on farming and what strategies can be implemented to improve the resilience of farmers, their families and workers.
Key Words
