As per title, what are your local resources?
I’m just going to keep a temporary list for now and edit it neat later. The links could included preparedness webpages.
Thank you very much for any help.

Australian homes don’t typically have attics (just roof space, not designed for storage or living space) and most don’t have crawl spaces either.
Yeah but you still have ventilation. Your homes would be unlivable otherwise. The data I’ve looked at shows a very similar design to house design in the desert south west of the US. Much of the same failure points.
I’m not saying we don’t, just that we don’t typically have those particular spaces (or used for that purpose) in most of our homes.
