Bushfire Resilience Ratings

We need to measure the resilience of individual buildings and provide tailored actions to improve resilience. This means we can ensure effective actions are being taken and create a trusted platform and market mechanism for incentivising and rewarding resilience. If we can measure risk and resilience, then we can do something about it and recognise it.

That’s why we’re developing the world-first Disaster Resilience and Energy Efficiency Resilience Ratings, which measures the resilience of property and provides tailored adaptation actions.

FORTIS House

We need better homes, that are built to last and able to withstand floods, bushfires, storms, heat waves – with little to no disruption to our daily lives. That’s why we’ve created global best-practice resilience standards for new and existing buildings, that go above and beyond the minimum.

FORTIS provides free house designs and a set of building principles for extreme weather and disaster resilience, sustainability, self-sufficiency and quality. FORTIS sets a new benchmark for better building to protect people, homes, communities and the environment – no matter where they live.

Multi-Hazard Resilience Ratings

The Resilient Building Council applies science into clearly communicated actions that measurably increase household and community resilience. Our projects include Resilience Ratings for buildings, flexible house designs, specifications and best-practice principles, prefabricated resilient, sustainable homes, resilience and energy efficiency retrofit programs and we contribute independent expertise to policy, inquiries and building standards.
