	abstract = {<p>The themes that influence disaster resilience in different locations in Australia are summarised using a typology.\&nbsp; A typology identifies SA2s (Statistical Area 2 divisions of the ABS) that have similar characteristic patterns of theme sub-index values, and places these SA2s together into groups.\&nbsp; Thus, the SA2s within a group are similar to each other, but each group has a different disaster resilience profile.\&nbsp; The profile associated with each group can then be used to understand disaster resilience in local communities and the strengths and opportunities for enhancing or improving disaster resilience.</p><p>Cluster analysis revealed five disaster resilience profiles in Australia.\&nbsp; The SA2s within a group all have a similar profile {\textendash} that is, they have similar disaster resilience strengths and constraints.\&nbsp; Most SA2s fall into Group 4, and these are largely in metropolitan Australia.\&nbsp; In comparison to other groups, areas within Group 4 are best placed overall to cope with and adapt to complex change associated with natural hazards.\&nbsp; Areas in Group 3 are largely in regional and remote areas.\&nbsp; Areas with this disaster resilience profile have an enhanced pro-social setting, but face constraints from economic capital, planning and the built environment, emergency services, information access and governance and leadership.\&nbsp; Areas with the Groups 1 and the Group 5 disaster resilience profile are constrained by community capital and social character.\&nbsp; Areas with the Group 2 disaster resilience profile are largely inner regional areas with reduced access to information and telecommunications services.\&nbsp; Variation in the strengths and constraints on disaster resilience suggests that place-based strategies need to be applied to support the different dimensions of disaster resilience.</p>},
