In Australia
there are many communities that are near bushfire
prone areas.
There are a few
ways to reduce vulnerability.
- creating fire
breaks by clearing a section of trees around a
town area.
- removing the
fuel of a bushfire from the town area, prune
trees.
- perhaps grow
trees that are not so flammable.
- ensure
building codes and laws make houses more fire
resistant.
- ensure houses
have an independent water supply with
independent pump.
- ensure a good
town emergency plan.
- ensure there
is a good local fire fighting force that is well
planned and prepared to fight any on coming
fires.
- create watch
towers during bushfire seasons.
- track fires
from satellites in space,
- measure the
weather more carefully.
