Our impact and Stories of Impact are a collection of 15 stories created from interviews with end-user perspectives, clearly communicating the uptake and use of the research and the tangible benefits achieved through collaboration, co-design and applied research.  

Collectively, these sections and stories show how our research investment is informing policy, improving operational decision-making, strengthening community preparedness and resilience, and supporting end-users across emergency management, planning, infrastructure and recovery.   

The Tools for impact section is a collection of groundbreaking tools developed during the Centre’s previous iterations, providing a home for useful, useable and used resources.
