	abstract = {<p>The purpose of this literature review is to provide an overview of current research on community\&nbsp;resilience in relation to natural hazards. It examines the concepts of vulnerability and resilience in the\&nbsp;north Australian context and, in particular, in remote Indigenous communities. In remote northern\&nbsp;Australia there are particular issues that must be considered for preparing for, responding to, and\&nbsp;recovering from natural hazards. Desert Knowledge Australia, for instance, highlights {\textquoteleft}the difficulties\&nbsp;faced by governments in providing basic community services and infrastructure, the lack of any real\&nbsp;local authority over decision making or allocation of resources, the severe stress on Indigenous culture\&nbsp;and societal structures, and the risk of collapsing fragile ecosystems in the context of outmoded land\&nbsp;management regimes{\textquoteright} (Desert Knowledge Australia 2009, p.3). In contrast, many highlight the\&nbsp;strength and resilience of remote Indigenous communities, despite the hardships produced by\&nbsp;colonisation, failed policies and poor governance. This is exemplified by many successful practical\&nbsp;projects in land and sea management, such as the West Arnhem Land Fire Abatement Project (Bessen\&nbsp;Consulting Services \&amp; NAILSMA 2009, Garnett \&amp; Sithole 2007). This literature review considers what\&nbsp;community resilience means in the context of remote Indigenous communities in northern Australia\&nbsp;and how this concept might relate to natural disaster preparedness, mitigation, response and\&nbsp;recovery.</p>},
