Understanding bushfire risks -- Chapter 2. Bushfire preparation. 330 $aBushfires and grassfires are common events throughout Australia, a land with a hot, dry climate. Every year bushfires occur across Australia, often taking human life and damaging property. Major firestorms such as Ash Wednesday and Black Saturday have left scars on the national psyche and are stark reminders of the destructive power of bushfires. The impacts of climate change are clear with the emergence of more extreme fire weather in recent years; increasingly, many Australians are exposed to potentially catastrophic bushfires. Understanding bushfires and the risks they pose to whole communities is critical if we are to be resilient to these most common and destructive of natural disasters. This book explores the basics of bushfires, how and where they occur, the threats they pose and the hazards they bring. The book also explains in detail how to effectively prepare your home for a bushfire, and when to safely leave. Future bush fires are expected to get worse. Learn now how to prepare, act and survive. 410 0$aIssues in society (Balmain, N.S.W.) ;$vVolume 427. 606 $aForest fires$zAustralia$xPrevention and control 606 $aWildfires$zAustralia$xPrevention and control 615 0$aForest fires$xPrevention and control. 615 0$aWildfires$xPrevention and control. 676 $a634.96180994 702 $aHealey$b Justin 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820438403321 996 $aBushfire safety$93931491 997 $aUNINA
