摘要: Abstract This study reevaluates the history of building damage and loss life due to bushfire (wildfire) in Australia since 1925 light 2009 Black Saturday fires Victoria which 173 people lost their lives 2298 homes were destroyed along with many other structures. Historical records are normalized estimate fatalities had events occurred under societal conditions 2008/09. There relationships between El Nino–Southern Oscillation Indian Ocean dipole phenomena, but there is no discernable evidence that data being influenced by climatic change emission greenhouse gases. The rank second terms fourth damage. public safety concern that, 10 years highest damage, 2008/09 season ranks third, behind 1925/26 1938/39 seasons, r...
