A response to various disasters has seen some organisations develop or take on specialised roles in disaster recovery. These provide a wide range of case studies and advice that may be applicable to artists and communities into the future.

Creative Recovery Network.
The most specialised group in Australia is the Creative Recovery Network which is a service provider and advocate for culture and the arts within the emergency management sector. It partners with government, community service, and private sector providers who work in disaster preparedness, response and recovery. It has a broad role advocating for the arts in disaster management, training artists and working with affected communities. Its resources section summaries a number of case studies and its website is a mine of information.
