On this day 15 years ago, 173 people lost their lives in Victoria’s 2009 Black Saturday fires.
It is a day that will forever be remembered for its widespread devastation and lifelong impacts.
From these tragic fires, much has been learned. A taskforce from the Centre’s predecessor, the Bushfire CRC, assembled researchers from fire agencies and research organisations around Australia to examine the key issues in the bushfires, assessing more than 1,300 homes, interviewing more than 600 residents, and taking more than 21,000 photos.
The learnings from the Black Saturday fires are collated here (https://lnkd.in/gQm4pdeb) and form the basis for many of the fire- and resilience-related research carried out by the Centre, our Participants, and researchers today.
