Conclusion - Climate Disaster Preparedness

Stuart Cunningham, Jane W. Davidson, Alethea Blackler

Research output: A Conference proceeding or a Chapter in BookForeword/postscriptpeer-review

Abstract

Let us start with two pieces of data, one from history and one from economics, and a deduction drawn from sociology and politics. The first, from 85 years ago, occurred when the judge presiding over an Australian Royal Commission into the devastating “Black Saturday” bushfires pronounced “We have not lived long enough”. What he meant was that European settlers in this country, Australia, had not learned how to live in a land characterised by climatic extremes of drought, fire and flood.
