Bushfires continue to burn ferociously. Homes are evacuated. Few western allies mentioned above have sent fire fighters to help. What can the fire fighters do without their apparatus. My analogy of war is quite relevant to fight these bushfires. You have to fight them from air and ground. For that, you need firefighting aircrafts and fire trucks, and of course water. To get things in a perspective, the environmental and property losses of these fires are immense. Some 700 homes have been destroyed so far. Hope insurance might cover some of the property losses. The loss of human lives? Wild forests depend on bushfires for regeneration. However, wildlife in these forests do not. Therefore, they are dwindled. Bushfires are burning out of control, and people are evacuated. This is like Tsunami evacuation. If you are lucky to escape, when you return you don’t have a home to live. That is why it is like Tsunami. It is not like flood damage where people can salvage damaged homes. It is far more difficult to rebuild burnt out homes.
It manifests that aside evacuation, there is no emergency solution for this continuing disaster. In the longer-term, Australia will need to deploy robust planning measures to avoid recurrent destruction of homes and property. Bushfires may not be prevented in hot weather seasons especially with the forecast climate change.
