Annotated Bibliography on Catastrophic Bushfires Impacting Australia

This annotated bibliography examines the impacts of catastrophic bushfires in Australia, focusing on air quality and its effects on communities and firefighters. It includes five sources, each analyzed for its data type, methodology, and key findings. The sources cover topics such as the economic costs of bushfires, their impact on water supplies, organizational responses to disasters, ethical considerations in research, and the interface between policy and practice. The bibliography highlights the sources of air pollutants and the health risks associated with exposure, addressing both short-term and long-term consequences. The research utilizes primary and secondary data, including surveys, GIS data, and case studies, to provide a comprehensive overview of the issue. The sources provide insights into the complexities of managing and mitigating the effects of these disasters and informs policy and practice in the face of environmental change. The annotated bibliography provides a detailed analysis of each source, summarizing its methodology, findings, and implications for understanding and addressing the impacts of bushfires.

Saturday bushfires (No. 427-2016-27333).
2. The article represents primary data by surveying the Household, Income and Labour
Dynamics in Australia (HILDA), and data’s are also collected from the Geographic Information
Systems (GIS).
3. The study is generally based on the experienced preference methods that quantify the overall
cost of the bushfire that occurred on Black Saturday. The data has been used from the household,
income and labor dynamics in Australia. The information's related to research are also being
collected from GIS Systems. The exploration is being done based on spatial dimensions as well
as temporal dimensions. These are generally considered as the hedonistic costs that are
associated with the Black Saturday Bushfire. The research has bestowed its findings on the
increased risk that are associated with the bushfires. These are being caused due to climate
change by anthropogenic disturbances and have also affected human welfare (Ambrey et al.
2016).

2. The article represents primary data by doing investigation on the Dartmouth, Corryong and
Buchan catchments that were generally burnt out during the Alpine bushfire of 2003.
3. There are several climatic changes like El Nino Southern Oscillation and the Interdecadal
Pacific Oscillation which generally plays a vital role in the control of the weather in eastern
Australia. There are several negative and positive trends that persist in the prediction of the
occurrence in a bushfire. The streamflow has an increase in the reduction in kinds of
evapotranspiration that took place for generally 1 to 5 years. There are certain measures that are
to be undertaken by the water authorities to save lives and society before catching fire (Bhuiyan
et al. 2016).

2. The research is based on the secondary analysis by researching novels and other information
that is related to the catastrophic bushfire that occurred in Australia.
3. There are organizations which are facing problems in giving responses to the natural disaster
that are generally experienced. These are complex and most unpredictable. The research has
been generally done on making of sense and learning of from the novels which constitute
experiences regarding Australian bushfire. The research shows on the basic sense-making and
the specific learning that has taken place with the inquiries of public and events. There are
models proposed in the research work that generally links with the practices of the organization
(Dwyer and Hardy, 2016).

2. The research is based on the primary data analysis by researching the document with the
catastrophic Australian Bushfire.
3. The paper generally represents on the case study of the Beyond Bushfire which is enlisted
with the large, multisite and mixed method that has been entailed with the psychological impact
of the bushfire activity that took place in Australia. It also explains in the feasibility of the
participated people with several types of research on the post-disaster events. It also achieved in
findings that are rigorous and have impacts to multilevel notations. This includes in the
potentials of the experience that are kept in a scaled up approach (Gibbs et al. 2018).

2. The research is based on the primary data analysis by researching the document with the
catastrophic Australian Bushfire.
3. The research paper generally outlines the emerging interface with policy and practices. These
are considered with the specific risk and resilience that are associated with the Victorian bushfire
policy. The findings are based on the change which can arise through different forms of
interaction with the interface of policy and practices. This also exhibits its research on the
contribution of flexible governance and its agreements in the adaptation of policies that are
related to the design of adaptive policy (Paschen and Beilin, 2015).
