Emergency Management in Australia
Canberra
Factsheet
This set of three factsheets was developed as a result of a project involving Emergency Management Australia, in consultation with the Fire and Emergency Services Authority of Western Australia (FESA), who together documented the experiences of the Kiwirrkurra Aboriginal community which was devastated by a major flood in 2001. The purpose of these resources was to identify the lessons learned so that other communities and emergency managers can benefit.
