The NDRO

Disaster events produce uniquely challenging situations that can leave survivors vulnerable to extended periods of traumatic symptomology. The NDRO provides professional counselling for anyone struggling to come to terms with their experiences. First responders, Health workers, Business Owners and General Community members have individual and nuanced responses to disaster events. NDRO Counsellors have been specially sourced to employ their ‘Lived Experience’ in their counselling approach, for the benefit of all clients.

These are specially trained security personnel deployed into the field to carry out security patrols. Their specific brief is to help prevent looting. They are not deployed to arrest people or to have any physical confrontation at all.
Looting is a crime of opportunity and the NDRO wants to eliminate that opportunity by simply being seen.

The NDRO’s committed focus on Community Health is the driver of all its disaster relief programs. Rehabilitation Home/Holiday Parks extends this commitment to a higher level. Established to offer a respite from the trauma of disaster clean up and rebuilding efforts, the NDRO Parks are designed to be a safe space for disaster survivors to recuperate from these traumas.
The NDRO will work closely with Disaster Coordinators to identify people who are experiencing difficulties from a disaster event. A week or two at one of Rehab Parks might be beneficial and assist them with their recovery.

One of the first pieces of infrastructure to be damaged or destroyed during disaster events is communications. In collaboration with related and external companies, the NDRO is creating a program to build and maintain a ‘Communications Proof’ off-grid facility which will ensure that communication with the outside world is available when communities are at their most vulnerable position.
The solution is a combination of a Solar powered, D-Gen backup, Non- explosive Battery set within a solid shipping container. Annexed to the shipping container will be a communications hub through Star Link plus facilities for Water Purification and power ups.

Every disaster recovery effort needs volunteers and there are always plenty of people who pitch in to help, because it’s the Aussie way.
Unfortunately, this help can cause unintended problems. Our teams of volunteers will have special skill sets which make their assistance more streamlined and valuable during disaster recovery efforts.
Particularly with business clean up efforts where having people assisting who have real world experience with particular industries such as General Retail outlets, Supermarkets, Doctors surgeries, Solicitors and Accountant offices etc etc.
These teams can also be deployed as reinforcements where existing staff may need to miss work because they have personal clean up to contend with at their own properties.
