The goal of this project was to evaluate the effectiveness of Gender and Disaster Australia’s Lessons in Disaster training program, both online and in-person. We analyzed past participant evaluations and supplemented this with participant interviews. Additionally, interviews with GADAus staff were conducted to determine the staff’s opinions on both delivery methods. We found that the online training was just as effective as in-person training, and in both environments, participants found discussions, activities, and exercises to be the most useful parts. Based on these findings, we recommended using both delivery methods while maximizing participant involvement going forward.
