Seems like the ADF or federal government could a spin out a disaster relief division of the defence force.
If about half of the force (if I read it right) was deployed for natural disaster relief since 2019 there’s obviously a need for something more professional than ses/ community volunteer groups.
This ^. Been saying for years that we need a dedicated, well funded disaster recovery agency/service, something like FEMA, that can deploy at a moments notice and have stockpiles of supplies ready to rollout.
