The Energy Ready Guidebook helps guide communities through the process of planning for, coping with and bouncing back from climate-related weather events like extreme heat and fires, floods and storms that disrupt energy supply.
The Guidebook explains what energy resilience means for communities and includes advice from communities that have experienced, or are at high risk of experiencing, climate-related disasters, and includes step-by-step instructions for seven simple activities community groups can do.
This information was collected at a series of workshops in Mullumbimby and Lake Macquarie in New South Wales, Gympie and Magnetic Island in Queensland, and Bonang and Mornington Peninsula in Victoria. Vital guidance and information on resilience was also provided by the project’s Steering Reference Group.
The Guidebook was funded by Energy Consumers Australia and delivered in partnership with the UTS Institute for Sustainable Futures (ISF), Community Power Agency and Parallel Lines.
