The Business Community Resilience (BCR) Toolkit program is an innovative solution focused on building resilience in all types of organisations within every community. Purposely agile, our custom-built system will help you build knowledge in and collect data from local business people.

Why not enable every type of business across your community to take small steps towards building everyday resilience, together.

The Business Community Resilience (BCR) Toolkit is an innovative online solution developed to help build resilience capabilities in businesses and communities. Customers of this solution are typically councils, government, corporates or industry bodies including business chambers.
Programs are tailored to your needs with a choice of 30+ modules released over a month, a week or a year. It is a great program to get every business in a community ready for future disasters.
Every program is different and developed in conjunction with councils, business chambers, industry associations and other key stakeholders within participating regions or industry sectors.
Modules can be released daily, weekly, fortnightly. The program duration is flexible depending on the required outcome. Regardless of the structure of your program, our goal is always to build your resilience and preparedness in small steps. We want you to make lasting, practical changes, and have the discussions that will have long-term benefit for you, your business and your business community.
We help you select the best structure to meet your business community’s needs. We offer 30+ modules – taking anything from a week, to a month, or a year.
We co-design module content with a local steering committee to be relevant and helpful, and we film local business case studies for all modules.
We release all modules as guided by your tailored plan. All participating businesses across your community complete the program together.
We share all data collected to help reduce local vulnerabilities across the business community, and we deliver in-person or online workshops.
This program is focused on a group of businesses participating because we cannot build resilience to disasters alone. Taking part in a Toolkit program will help you, your business, your customers and suppliers, and your community. We know it’s the small steps to prepare for a disaster that make the biggest difference. We also know working together in a region will make you and your community stronger.
Being involved in this program can:
If you take the time to get your business in the right position in the good times, you’ll be better prepared for the bad times.
