Bushfire preparedness assessment for 2025 and 2026Friday 12 Dec 2025
In the public interest, community interest, national interest and in the interests of firefighter and community safety, the author has prepared this bushfire preparedness assessment across SE Australia, examining a series of bushfire preparedness assessment factors. Such assessments are not provided to the public, communities or firefighters and the author sees this as a major risk and concern area, hence the effort made to prepare this assessment. This process of bushfire preparedness assessment is critical considering the massive impacts of many bushfires on safety, economic and social impacts and environmental impacts, including Australia, Palisades, Maui, Greece and elsewhere and many other recent bushfires. It is also an important step in capturing lessons from Australia and overseas. The 2019/ 20 bushfires provided a major warning to Australia, unfortunately we didn’t capture key issues. Bushfire preparedness assessment across SE Australia The author has undertaken this preparedness assessment in as briefly as possible assessment, but taking a broad look at bushfire preparedness across SE Australia. The full review is included here. Conclusions In the public interest, community interest, national interest and in the interests of firefighter and community safety, the author has prepared this bushfire preparedness assessment across SE Australia, examining a series of bushfire preparedness assessment factors. The author is of the opinion that there is inadequate bushfire preparedness across SE Australia for many of the bushfire preparedness factors outlined above for the 2025/ 26 bushfire season, an accountability issue that needs to be seriously addressed and tackled. There are large opportunities for governments at all levels, government agencies and communities to address the bushfire preparedness issues identified above in the public interest, community interest, national interest and in the interests of firefighter and community safety. If opportunities aren’t taken, Australia could very well end up similar or worse than the 2019/ 20 bushfire outcomes.
