“The impact of bushfires in Australia is extraordinary. We spend billions on “natural disasters” every year…. The way we think about and how to deal with them in the future needs to change globally. Sharing resources, technology…” @DrCathyFoley our @ScienceChiefAu at #ASC2023

The bushfire season is starting early for many areas in NSW this year. Due to local conditions, 27 LGAs have commenced their Bush Fire Danger Period a month earlier than the usual 1 October start. A timely reminder, to familiarise yourself with the new fire danger ratings.

Did you know that 97% of disaster funding is spent on recovery and just 3% is spent getting communities prepared? Find out more about what we’re doing to flip this, as we face increasingly severe weather across Australia. Read more at recovery.gov.au/stories/97-d…
This is a big shout-out to all our volunteers! 🙌 On #InternationalVolunteerDay we are celebrating and applauding each and every one of you who give selflessly and support our communities in so many ways. 👏 Thank you for all you do! 🙌

As climate change amplifies the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, evacuations are likely to become increasingly common and costly – in human and economic terms. bit.ly/30HIaeh @UNSW

When disaster strikes, too often marginalized communities are left out of the communications and planning loop. Join #UMD @ClarkSchool on Wednesday 10/20 at 12pm as Dr. Nnenia Campbell explores disaster risk communication through an equity lens: go.umd.edu/TDM

We’re live! The NSW Get Ready Community Award and @AIDR_news NSW Resilient Australia Awards are being broadcast to Australian Disaster Resilience Conference delegates. We’ll celebrate the winners as they’re announced here on Twitter. 👏👏👏 #ADRC21 #AFAC21
As we know, they're not "lessons" until there's been a change in behaviour. Otherwise they're just "discoveries" #nonaturaldisasters #AFAC21

"When people receive warnings from a trusted source, it's like they can skip over the risk perception part of the decision making process. They didn't need to feel at risk to make the decision to evacuate because the warning came from someone they trusted" @ericakul at #AFAC21

Firefighters involved in the 2009 bushfires shared their thoughts with researchers from Swinburne University and the University of Sydney and say they don’t want to be remembered as ‘heroes’; they want the community to remember the lessons from past. news.cfa.vic.gov.au/bushfire…
