ACT First
Helping residents of the ACT prepare for extreme weather events through a personalised, interactive journey.
We collaborate with at-risk communities to proactively mitigate inevitable disruptions.
We bring key players together so they can understand potential challenges and implement the required changes to make their community more resilient. With a plan in place, we make sure they have the support and resources they need to thrive. We are a not-for-profit organisation with no political agenda - the wellbeing of the local communities is our priority. We do all we can to help communities navigate risks in their local context.
