The Australian Government's National Capability Package helps communities recover from disaster.

It includes:

• pilot Regional Resilience Hubs
• training programs
• recovery programs
• a Recovery Exercising Toolkit.

Recovery Exercising Toolkit

The toolkit is a national reference for designing recovery exercises.

We developed it with the Australian Institute for Disaster Resilience (AIDR).

It's available on the AIDR Knowledge Hub.

The toolkit complements AIDR's Managing Exercises and Community Recovery handbooks.

How it works

The toolkit contains modules with practical guidance and specialised resources.

These help exercise planners design:

• recovery exercises
• post-disaster training.
