The launch of the Australian Seasonal Bushfire Outlook 2019 was hosted by Bushfire and Natural Hazards CRC CEO Dr Richard Thornton at AFAC19 in Melbourne. Fire chiefs, commissioners and the Bureau of Meteorology gathered to discuss the areas of their respective states with above-average fire potential this upcoming bushfire season.
The Australian Seasonal Bushfire Outlook: August 2019 shows fire potential across Australia over the coming months. Above normal bushfire potential refers to the ability of a large fire to take hold when you take into consideration the recent and predicted weather for a particular area, the dryness of the land and forests, recent fire history and local firefighting resources.
The Australia Seasonal Bushfire Outlook: August 2019 is used by fire authorities to make strategic decisions on resource planning and prescribed fire management for the upcoming fire season.
