- Summary:
-
"Australian governments face the twin challenges of dealing with extreme weather - related disasters (such as floods and bushfires) and adapting to the impacts of climate change. These challeng es are connected, so any response would benefit from a more integrated approach across and between the different levels of government. This report summarises the findings of an NCCARF-funded project that addresses this problem. The project undertook a three - way comparative case study of the 2009 Victorian bushfires, the 2011 Perth Hills bushfires, and the 2011 Brisbane floods. It collected data from the official inquiry reports into each of these events, and conducted new interviews and workshops with key stakeholders. The findings of this project included recommendations that range from the conceptual to the practical."--Abstract.
