Refuge drops us in the hot zone of different climate-related disasters.

Flood, heat, pandemic and displacement: this five-year project offers us new ways to rally as a community and prepare for climatic events.

For the next two years we prepare for displacement prompted by climate crisis. In 2019, we begin on our own doorstep: are you ready to evacuate if the worst comes to pass? What do we need to do to prepare North Melbourne if we were displaced? What can we learn from Traditional Owners and First Nations who, over 120,000 years, have already survived many climate changes? What skills and knowledge can we share – and do you know your neighbours well enough to ask for their help?
