- Summary:
- Recent major bushfires and floods demonstrate how increasingly exposed Australia is to natural hazards, causing distressing loss of life and property and devastating the environment. A recent royal commission has exposed gaps in Australia's readiness for natural disasters, especially climate change-fuelled, weather-driven natural hazards. What can we do at a government, emergency services, community and personal level to protect ourselves, develop resilience and recover from the next natural disaster?
