Natural disasters rip away our collective sense of control, so it’s critical that the road of recovery is paved with community voice and agency. With disasters increasing year on year we need new ideas for how governments and communities can work together when everything has been destroyed.

Democracy After Disasters is a nine part narrative documentary podcast series that explores how we can re-build democracy on the road of recovery. We'll talk to people from Macedon to Mallacoota, to experts in history, philosophy and political science. And we'll uncover ideas that can dramatically improve the path of community recovery.
