Enter Random Hacks of Kindness Melbourne and join other experts in natural disasters, design and development as well as volunteers with a broad set of skills. The goal is to produce practical open source solutions to development problems related to disaster risk, major crisis (like bushfires, floods and earthquakes), and the challenges of climate change.
