It is now available to watch on ABC TV + iview. Presenter Craig Reucassel shares stories from frontline disaster crews, experts and communities dealing with the effects of escalating extreme weather events to answer some questions: Why are these events becoming less predictable and more intense? And what can we do to prepare, survive and adapt into the future?

When big weather events strike, being prepared, knowing your neighbours and being connected with your community can make a huge difference. In fact, research shows the more connected a community is, the more resilient it is to disaster. One way to get ready for big weather and check in with your neighbours, family and friends, is to host a Big Weather Get Together!

Encourage your community to watch Big Weather (and how to survive it) and start a conversation about the series, the big weather risks in your area, and what you can do to be #ReadyTogether.

Your Big Weather Get Together might take the form of a street party, a barbecue at your local fire station or sports club, or an online meet-up. Whatever works best for your community and fits within the local restrictions on gatherings.

Explore the Big Weather Get Together resources, including invitations, posters, how-to guides, conversation starters, quizzes, social media images and videos to get started.
