Australian Bushfires 2019-2020 - Lakes Innes and Port Macquarie

1/21/2020

1 Comment

 
Fires around Port Macquarie, Lake Cathie and Lake Innes began in November 2019. As of 21 January the Crestwood Drive, Port Macquarie fire had burnt out 3572ha, while the connected Lindfield Park rd, Port Macquarie fire had burnt out 859ha.

The Lake Innes Nature Reserve  was home to a flourishing koala colony. Between 350 and 600 koalas are believed to have died in the fires around the Lake Innes area.

The image on the left is a screenshot of the RFS Fires Near Me app showing the location and extent of the Port Macquarie fires. The screenshot on the right shows the size of the Port Macquarie fires in relation to other fires in the mid-North Coast region.

The post below from NSW National Parks and Wildlife Services indicate that while the fire around Lake Innes was extinguished, there remains risk for future fires flaring even several months later. The post below was posted on January 21.
Port Macquarie Koala Hospital
Following the fire a number of injured koalas required intensive care.  The Port Macquarie Koala Hospital was inundated

The Port Macquarie Koala Hospital has a large number of koalas in care. The least injured/ill koalas are available for public viewing, while those most injured are screened from public viewing for their own wellbeing. Below is an example of the management of koalas, their injury/illness and treatment.

Go Fund Me Campaign
Port Macquarie Koala Hospital set up a Go Fund Me Page to raise much needed funds to support care for injured koalas and to establish drinking stations and a breeding program for koalas in the region. The initial goal was for $25,000. By 21 January, the campaign had raised nearly $7.5 million dollars. The scope of the projects originally proposed have now been expanded in light of the huge amount of money raised.

White Island

The White Island disaster
On 9 December 2019, Whakaari, or White Island in New Zealand erupted while 47 people were on the island. It is located 48 km off the coast of New Zealand’s North Island. 47 people were on the island at the time of the eruption. 21 people were killed and 26 people suffered injuries including severe burns and inhalation burns.

Whakaari/White Island is one of New Zealand’s most active volcanoes, and is expected to have explosive eruptions every few decades. The island experienced its longest eruption episode between 1975 and 200, and has since erupted in 2012, 2013 and 2016. The island is privately owned, and was used as a unique site for adventure tourism, enabling visitors the opportunity to visit the caldera of an active volcano. 
Picture
Picture
Tourists could fly to the island by helicopter or travel by boat, and were then required to wear a hard hat and gas mask to do the tour of the site on foot. The annual revenue generated by White Island Tours for the local Maori tribe, Ngati Awa was $NZ4.5 million.The nearby town of Whakatane in the Bay of Plenty is the gateway to Whakaari and is a town of approximately 34,000. During holiday season, the town becomes packed with caravans, and the motels, hotel, restaurants are full of tourists. Tourism is the lifeblood of the town.

Geomorphic processes that caused the disaster 

New Zealand is particularly tectonically active, and earthquakes and volcanoes are common. Whaakari/White Island is a typical open vent volcanic system with magma not too far below the surface. The volcano is extremely volatile. It has a crater system enclosed within the crater, it has a superheated crater lake, there are noxious gases escaping from the gas vents, and there have been previous explosive eruptions. The eruption that occurred is known as an hydrothermal eruption, with the volcano spewing gas at temperatures at a minimum of 200 degrees celcius.
Picture
Responses to the disaster

Immediately following the disaster, the local tribes imposed a rahui, a cultural ban, on the waters along the coast following the explosion. In addition, a maritime exclusion zone of 5km around the island was imposed following the event, to provide exclusive access to police and the defence force. Tour boats were quarantined. A no-fly zone was also ordered after the eruption. Police and the Defence Force, including six bomb disposal specialists were involved in rescue and recovery operations. 
​
The island was heavily toxic following the eruption. Initial visits were very short, with teams using breathing equipment to allow them to search for up to 75 minutes at a time. They needed to wear three protective layers and wade through dense acidic mud. Recovery divers had to be washed clean following recovery dives due to the acidity of the water. 

Management strategies to reduce impacts of similar hazard events in the future

Tours which allow walking around the volcanic island no longer run. There are some scenic flights which allow a view of the island from a distance.
GNS Science undertake research on natural Earth system processes and resources, and are New Zealand’s geological hazards information authority. GNS Science and the Earthquake Commission work together to provide information through the GeoNet website. It monitors volcanic activity using seismometers, acoustic sensors and webcams. Samples are also collected from the island frequently. This ongoing monitoring and assessment provides the public with information about the changing risk level for the volcano. GeoNet uses Volcano Alert Bulletins to asses the rick of the volcano.

The Bay of Plenty Civil Defence Emergency Management group has overall responsibility for managing hazards and risks associated with Whakaari/White Island. They have developed a Whakaari/White Island Response Plan. This was developed in December 2019, and specified the roles and responsibility of different groups and agencies in the event of a similar disaster.

Tour operators are required to regularly communicate with each other to share knowledge of observations on the island, they need to directly communicate with GNS, and need to carry out their own individual risk assessment on each landing on the island. Information about the risks associated with walking around and active volcano is communicated to any visitors to the site.

1. Describe the location of Whakaari/White Island.
2. Describe how White Island was used by people.
3. Outline the impacts of the White Island disaster.
4. Examine figure 1. Explain the geomorphic processes that caused the disaster on White Island.
5. Explain the difficulties in the rescue and recovery mission on White Island following the eruption.
6. Propose the key points to be considered in developing a risk management plan for use of White Island in the future.

Australian Bushfires 2019-2020 - Charmhaven

1/18/2020

0 Comments

 
A bushfire started on December 31 at Charmhaven on the Central Coast and burned over several days. This is one of the smaller fires in The Australian Bushfires 2019-2020, but still burnt out 418ha of land. Local residents were issued with warnings and in some cases were evacuated. Two homes, located on Birdwood Drive and Arizona Drive were lost. ​

The screenshots below from the Rural Fire Service (RFS) Fires Near Me app show the development of the fire from 31 December- 3 January. The fire burned areas of bushland in Charmhaven and along Wallarah Creek. The fire was fuelled by strong southerly winds and spread from Charmhaven to threaten nearby suburb Blue Haven. The Pacific Highway was closed and the train line was cut between Morisset and Wyong during the emergency. The Warnervale RFS Headquarters is located on the southern edge of the fire. The fire remained at advice level for some time after it was brought under control.

Several RFS brigades and water bombing aircraft worked to get the fire under control. The post below from Newcastle Herald outlines the measures taken to get the fire under control. This was written fairly early in the progress of the fire, prior to the loss of homes and further spread of the fire. 

​The post on the right is from Warnervale Fire Brigade and includes a video of the fire. 
The photos below show the aftermath of the fire, taken on 18 January. There is some evidence of regrowth, but the fire-ground still smelt of smoke and was still hot underfoot.

0 Comments

 
Mallacoota
A local resident, Brendan described the impact of the fires on his community in Mallacoota through his Twitter account. Some of these tweets are embedded below.

Activities: 
- Explore all the community issues described below. Create a mind map of the issues outlined, ensuring to create links between connected issues.
- Identify the challenges in determining the impact of the fires on existing infrastructure, and addressing those needs.
- Refer back to your mindmap. Rank the issues identified from the most serious (e.g. threatening life) to the least serious (e.g. inconvenience). With the person sitting next to you discuss your top three most important issues. Discuss your answers as a class.
- Choose one of the most urgent issues highlighted (e.g. electricity, clean water, food, health concerns). Imagine you are a community leader in Mallacoota and develop a plan to address this issue over a 5-10 day period immediately after the fires.

#Mallacoota hall being operated by local volunteers and others as a relief centre. Lots of water to distribute. While town water is technically potable, it isn’t currently pleasant. ADF present in some numbers and appear to be organising further evac.

Heath concerns around smoke persist. Advised to wear p2 masks outside at all times

— Brendan (@brendanh_au) January 5, 2020

Advised to stay clear of damaged houses. Asbestos may be present.

Locals are finding this infuriating. Pointless bureaucracy. At the same time, I can see the potential liability issue. The overwhelming local opinion is that the ONLY ROAD OUT should be opened as soon as it is clear of fallen trees, not when some @VicRoads guy is happy with signs https://t.co/lzVEp8rrIX

Some people with generators and the golf club are offering free phone charging but with phones being our only connection to the world, they aren’t lasting all day.

This is incredible! Thank you. https://t.co/xmAWNbLZGn

— Brendan (@brendanh_au) January 6, 2020

Hearing conflicting reports on how long it will take to get roads out of #Mallacoota open. Estimates are between 5 and 40 days. My guesstimate from knowledge of the roads, resources and various opinions is in the 10-14 day range for basic access towards Bairnsdale.

— Brendan (@brendanh_au) January 7, 2020

Choules confirming there is no plan to come back to #Mallacoota after this run - this is the last guaranteed chance to get out. 20hr trip to Westernport then transfer to HMAS Cerberus

— Brendan (@brendanh_au) January 7, 2020

ADF are contributing fuel for the generator powering the business district. It is consuming 140L/hr. Diesel is still scarce and access is being carefully managed.

— Brendan (@brendanh_au) January 7, 2020

Petrol situation in #Mallacoota is becoming dire. We’ve been on generator-only $15 rations since the incident and are expecting the servo run out tomorrow.

— Brendan (@brendanh_au) January 8, 2020

I’ve spoken to the #Mallacoota pharmacy today and they’ve told me they haven’t had a medication delivery since before 31/Dec. Unfilled scrips are piling up. What is going on @DanielAndrewsMP ? Do we need to escalate to the feds to get help with this?

— Brendan (@brendanh_au) January 8, 2020

Health now: Asbestos and smoke risks being revisited and a reminder about personal and food hygiene in the absence of hot water.

Australian Bushfires 2019-2020 - Defence Response - Victoria

1/10/2020

0 Comments

 
Victoria – Joint Task Force 646
Following a request from Victorian Premier, Daniel Andrews, on December 31, naval vessels, helicopter and fixed wing military aircraft were made ready for use in evacuations. This was decided in consultation with the Prime Minister and Defence Chief General Angus Campbell. 
​
HMAS Choules transported approximately 1100 evacuees from Mallacoota to Western Port on January 4-5. The ship then returned to Mallacoota to deliver diesel fuel and a fuel management team to keep generators running. RAAF Black Hawk and Taipan helicopters transported firefighters to fire grounds, and helped evacuate vulnerable people. Three Spartan aircraft assisted with evacuations.
 
On January 5 and 6 ADF flew in emergency food, fuel, water and medical supplies to 18 cut-off communities. On January 7 they prepared a staging area for around 100 international fire fighters around Omeo.
 
On January 7, further evacuations from Mallacoota took place, and satellite phones and food, medical supplies, water and fuel were delivered in some isolated locations, including Bemm River and Genoa.
 
Reconnaissance flights were conducted over fire affected areas on January 8. A medical team was deployed to remote towns such as Combienbar and Gipsy Point.
 
5400 litres of diesel and 800 litres of unleaded petrol were flown in to Mallacoota. 
Equipment and Engineering personnel were provided to assist state government in reopening roads, removing debris and clearing fire breaks and fire trails. On January 9, ADF undertook route clearance north of Bairnsdale and the Great Alpine Road was reopened. Hay bales and fodder were moved into key locations. Air Force air traffic controllers assisted to help manage the large volume of air traffic at the Bairnsdale Airport.
 
From January 10, ADF undertook continued work in support of relief centres at Omeo, Swifts Creek, Bairnsdale, Orbost and Mallacoota. ADF also supported evacuations from the Victorian Alpine region.

Activities
Undertake internet research:
- Make a list of the different issues affecting the people of Mallacoota prior to the ADF assisting them?
- Make a list of the different tasks undertaken by The Australian Defence Force to assist the people of  Mallacoota?
- Why do you think that The Australian Defence Force had to be called in to assist the people of Mallacoota? Was this a good decision? What are the costs and benefits of using the ADF in this way?
- What challenges did the ADF face in assisting the people of Mallacoota?

Extended response:
- Outline the effectiveness of The Australian Defence Force in responding to the bushfire crisis affecting Mallacootta.

Media analysis:
Embedded below are social media posts from The Guardian, The Australian Defence Force, the Royal Australian Army and the Royal Australian Airforce.
- What is the purpose of The Australian Defence Force, Royal Australian Army and the Royal Australian Airforce posting updates about their activities? What are the benefits of these posts?
- Consider the following statement about media: "Media and media messages can influence beliefs, values, attitudes, behaviours and the democratic process." What messages are conveyed in the posts below? What values are communicated? How might these posts influence democratic processes?
