- Authors

- Abstract
Resilience embraces crisis prevention and mitigation, dealing with crises decisively, and then societal rebuilding, repairing, reconstructing and healing. The New South Wales government established Resilience NSW in 2020 in the wake of the state's worst ever bushfire season to guide the preparation for and recovery from future natural disasters, disease epidemics and the like. Herein, the Commissioner for Resilience describes the 2019-20 bushfire crisis and recovery processes, stressing the importance of emotional resilience and social cohesion.
