Home Upgrades for Climate Resilience Workbook
A new resource has been developed for households in the Loddon Mallee region to help make homes and properties ready for extreme weather events.
The Home Upgrades for Climate Resilience Workbook aims to help households to assess how their home may perform in climate events such as fires, floods, storms, and extreme tempertures. The workbook identifies priority upgrades that households can undertake to make their home more resilient when these events occur.
Many households in regional Victoria have been affected by climate-related events. Much of the state’s housing stock, particularly houses built prior to 1991, has not been designed or constructed to withstand the projected increase in temperatures and extreme weather events under climate change. Improving the resilience of homes and properties can help households to reduce the negative impacts of climate change on their health and wellbeing. Home upgrades for climate resilience may also help households to save money through reduced property damage and associated insurance costs, and reduced heating and cooling bills.
