What happens when climate change, drought, and bushfire risk start affecting where people can live, insure, and invest?

It’s a conversation Tasmania is beginning to have more seriously.

In a recent ABC Radio interview, RACT’s insurance chief warned that increasing fire risk could eventually make some areas harder - or even impossible - to insure if communities do not strengthen prevention and preparedness efforts

One message came through clearly: Strong communities prepare before crisis hits.

Planning for this resilience is why free community consultation workshops are happening in Campbell Town on 16 May and Longford on 23. Everyone is welcome to have their say by booking here https://www.nmba.asn.au/drought

The ABC interview also highlighted something many people across Tasmania are already recognising - prevention, practical action, and community preparation are just as vital for recovery after disaster strikes.

Tasmania is warming and drying. Most people still think it won’t affect them.

It already is.

When conditions are drier for longer, the impacts don’t stop on farms. They move through businesses, households, and everyday life across our community.

So what does that mean for the Northern Midlands?

These free Connected Futures workshops are your chance to find out β€” in a practical, local, and community-led way.

Hear what’s happening, share your experience, and explore how we prepare for climate change and drought together.

The stronger our understanding, the stronger our region becomes.

Campbell Town β€” Saturday 16 May

Longford β€” Saturday 23 May
10:30am–1:30pm (light lunch included)
