Australian bushfire management

Australian bushfire management involves a combination of prevention, preparedness, and response strategies. These include controlled burns (fuel reduction), land clearing, and fuel management to reduce available combustibles. Early warning systems, community education, and evacuation planning enhance safety. Firefighting resources, including aerial and ground teams, are mobilized quickly during fires. Post-fire assessments guide recovery and future risk reduction. Climate change and drought conditions increase bushfire risks, prompting adaptive measures and collaboration among government agencies, local communities, and environmental groups to protect lives, property, and ecosystems.
