About Kruthika Nagananda Kruthika Nagananda likes to consider herself as a girl from India dreaming about strengthening communities during this struggle, especially during crisis, such as disasters and climate induced crisis. In search of this dream, she landed in Australia and completed her Master’s in disaster resilience and sustainable development at the University of Newcastle. She’s had experiences in various non-governmental organisations in India and the world such as the UN-habitat, Maya MA, and Indian Institute of Human Settlement on wastewater and climate related disasters. In Australia, she’s worked at the Walcha Council as the disaster risk reduction coordinator, and now the Australian Red Cross as a project officer in Urban Climate Resilience Program.
