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.
