About the Event
Disasters are not experienced in risk registers. They are experienced by people in their homes, communities, and through the essential services they rely on every day.
This webinar explores how organisations can turn risk insights into practical actions that reduce harm before disruption occurs. From understanding vulnerable customers and critical community dependencies to setting priorities, testing assumptions, and coordinating response efforts, the session will examine what it takes to build resilience that extends beyond the boardroom.
Join Battleground and RMIA for a discussion on how risk, resilience, and operational leaders can better connect data, decision-making, and frontline action. Together, we'll explore how organisations can direct investment and preparedness efforts to where they can make the greatest difference for people and communities.
Key takeaways
Connect enterprise risk insight with practical impacts for customers, communities and services.
Identify the questions leaders should ask to understand where disruption may be felt first and hardest.
Use resilience data, scenario testing and cross-functional planning to support earlier, more informed action.
Strengthen risk-informed decisions that help protect people, maintain services and support community confidence.
