SURVEILLANCE AND DISASTER PLANNING1
Report of the Victorian Royal Commission into the 2009 Bushfires:
Introduction:
In 2009, The Victorian Royal Commission inspected the environment of situations
surrounding the Bushfires. Premier John Brumby declared a Royal Commission inside the fires
to observe "all aspects of the government's bushfire strategy. On 13 February 2009 Premier John
Brumby announced that Justice Bernard Teague is the former magistrate of the Supreme Court of
Victoria on 13 February 2009. On 16 February 2009, the assistant Commissioners of Victoria
were selected, Ron McLeod and Susan Pascoe. On 20 April 2009, Jack Rush, who is the
commission counsellor, provided his primary address because all the provisional report and first
notice would contribute to the government through the commission in August.
Discussion:
The report would figure out the bushfire expulsion, and for the period of the commission
different bureaucrat’s judgment and performance were explored, such as CFA Operations Officer
Jason Lawrence, CFA Chief Officer Russel Rees and Commissioner of Emergency Services
Bruce Esplin. Russel Rees's information, defence and actions include: the first day the Integrated
Emergency Coordination Centre (IECC) had been verified and performed well from 7 February,
and that perception was confusing on that day and also very demanding. The fires were attacked
only the inward and not the outward portions (Linnenluecke & Griffiths, 2013). Esplin. Russel
Rees couldn’t get concentration on one fire for the reason that it would underestimate his broad
perspective. The commission’s enquiring openly to expose that Esplin. Russel Rees had not kept
any private connection with the process of the Kilmore East fire. The working bushfire
sometimes clears the area or sometimes protect the home, and this “stay and go” policy was

inspected and also examined. The “stay and go” policy was established in the empirical claim,
which is investigated by Dr Katherine Haynes.
Conclusion:
It concluded that survival was more preferable for people to be fighting enthusiastically
when the fire spread at home after that shelter or vacate peacefully to be cemented on the roads.
In its last week, the commission and the government focused on the fuel-reduction burns in
Gippsland and Bendigo. As a result, not a single person of the 51 commendations of the
commission passed on the dealt with fuel reduction. However, there was significant public
anxiety that should be done very seriously.
