The awards were presented at the ceremony, held in Launceston.
The Resilient Australia Awards is a nationwide program to recognise and promote initiatives that strengthen community disaster resilience.
Since 2000, the awards have showcased innovation and exemplary practice across Australia; celebrating achievements that might otherwise go unseen, and inspiring others to build greater disaster resilience in their own communities.
Winners from Northern Tasmania included Invermay Primary School and Launceston Big Picture School for their joint flood readiness project.
Other winners were Cape Barren Island for bushfire readiness initiatives and Mineral Resources Tasmania for its tsunami preparedness program.
The awards were held in conjunction with the Tasmanian Fire Service.
