MANAGEMENT OF RISK CONTROL IN BUSHFIRE2
Introduction
Managing risks are essential for any society to predict the adverse situations that
might happen later in advance, analysing them thoroughly and adapting strategies to mitigate
them as soon as possible [1]. Acclimating strategies for risks require evaluation of the risks
and the degree of its effect on society. One such unsafe incident that occurred recently is the
bushfires in Canberra, the capital of Australia. The paper will discuss the potential risks
regarding the incident and mitigation procedures to overcome it.
Possible Risks in Bushfires of Canberra
Bushfires in Australia are a common phenomenon to occur and the most current
incident of bushfire that happened are in the states of New South Wales and Victoria. The fire
was raging in South Canberra in the month of summer that lead to the closing of the nearby
Parliament as well as the airport for safety measures [2]. The probable hazardous incidents
that may have occurred due to these bushfires are:
 The major impact occurs on the flora and fauna in the wildlife of Australia. The wild
animals and birds are likely to die in the upcoming days due to damage of their habitat
and food resources. Billions of animals and birds get affected due to the disruption in
their ecosystems for the bushfires in the region. Thus, bushfires cause high impactful
damage on the survival of the wildlife of Australia.
 The climate of Australia becomes hugely polluted due to the fires and smokes
generated from these bushfires. The increase in the raging bushfires led to the
emission of 400 mega tonnes of carbon dioxide into the climate leading to an increase
for greenhouse gases in Australia [3]. More to that, these gases are contributing to the
phenomenon of global warming thus creating a hazardous climatic loop in future.
