Putting Queensland on the road to resilience

Dubbed 'Resilience Road', the initiative puts into practice the innovation of Suncorp's One House prototype launched last year, showing how practical and accessible features like installing ember guards or cyclone mesh screens can make homes stronger and safer.

Suncorp's Bernadette Norrie said Resilience Road aimed to encourage homeowners, builders, and government to make home resilience a priority.

"We see first-hand the impact extreme weather has on people's lives, livelihoods and our broader society and economy," said Ms Norrie.

"Right now, we are working around the clock to help thousands of Australians clean up and rebuild after the devastating East Coast floods and storms. That's why we continue to advocate for practical ways to help reduce the physical, emotional, and financial damage of extreme weather.

"While these upgrades are not a silver bullet to avoiding extreme weather, it is all about helping protect homes and the Australian way of life by lessening the impacts.
