Monash University Disaster Resilience Initiative (MUDRI)

The Monash University Disaster Resilience Initiative (MUDRI) has been established to harness our university-wide expertise with the goal of strengthening community-based disaster resilience. We aim to provide the evidence to shape new approaches to disaster preparedness and management in the context of Council of Australian Governments' National Strategy for Disaster Resilience.

We achieve this by using an all-hazard and interdisciplinary framework to shape our research and, through a collaborative approach, in translating our research into real-world applications for use by government, emergency services and community groups.

MUDRI represents a rich collaborative venture between MUARC and the Department of Community Emergency Health and Paramedic Practice based in the Monash Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences. We are committed to advancing the professionalism of the emergency management workforce both nationally and within our region.

We offer graduate programs in research and research training, and by coursework at graduate certificate, graduate diploma and masters levels. Many units are available to meet the needs of the emergency management workforce.
