Overview
The International Bushfire Research Conference 2008 - incorporating The 15th annual AFAC Conference, Adelaide, South Australia, Australia
Changing policy and practice over the years have impacted heavily on the Islands ability to prepare for and manage wildfires. The outcome was the enormity of the 2007 December fires when 20% of the Island was burnt in 10 days. The community is demanding change.
