From Crisis to Recovery: Your Support Matters
As Cyclone Alfred approaches, communities are preparing for the worst. Families may face devastating losses—homes destroyed, belongings swept away, and lives uprooted. In these moments, immediate relief is critical, but long-term recovery is just as important.
Good360 has a proven track record in disaster relief. Since 2019, we have supported bushfires, floods and droughts, delivering 19.4 million brand-new items and over $175 million worth of essential goods to people in Australia. Our six-phase disaster recovery approach ensures aid is available before, during, and long after the media spotlight fades.
Your donation makes a real impact—every $1 provides $20 in essential goods like personal care packs, cleaning supplies, clothing, and homewares to help families rebuild.
Disasters are a marathon, not a sprint. Stand with these communities today.
Our approach to disaster recovery
Good360 focuses on a six-phase disaster recovery framework for giving funds, goods and volunteer time during disasters. These stages help businesses and everyday Australians understand where the need lies at any given time throughout a disaster’s lifecycle. To ensure organisations on the ground aren't overwhelmed with items they don't need in quantities they can't process.
Readiness
Preparedness ahead of time helps to mitigate the impact of a disaster on communities.
Items: personal hygiene kits, clean-up kits, flood buckets, drinking water.
Response
In the immediate aftermath, the greatest concern is for the protection of life and property.
Items: nappies, blankets, respirators, disposal overalls, gloves.
Recover
This phase focuses on the clean-up and fixing damage brought on by the disaster.
Items: mops, buckets, shovels, tarps, cleaning supplies.
Rebuild
As survivors move beyond recovery, the focus shifts to rebuilding homes, businesses and lives.
Items: insulation, flooring, plasterboard, roofing, tools, paint.
Refurnish
As displaced families move back, they often need to replace most or all of their household goods.
Items: furniture, appliances, rugs, sheets, towels, small appliances.
Revive
While this is the final stage, survivors often need support for months and years to get back to life as 'normal'.
Items: school supplies, clothing, toys, games, sporting equipment.

Whilst working with Flood impacted residents up and down the Murray River we had been noticing how tiresome the work was becoming for people who had been affected, looking at mud, mold, and damaged belongings day in and day out was really taking its toll.
To date, all the generous donations from Good360 had been very practical, and whilst exceptionally well received it led us to think how nice it would be to be able to give people something to allow their minds to rest during this Recovery.
Having been able to access the wonderful selection of books from Booktopia has given us the ability to provide people with some solidarity, essentially giving them permission to take a mental break from their Recovery and rest up with a book along their beloved Murray River.
