Show Notes
This month we talk to the National Aerial Firefighting Centre and the pilot of a firefighting helicopter to discover how they coordinate with the firefighting effort on the ground. We'll also take a timely look at heatwaves and a new mapping tool developed by the Bureau of Meteorology that will help authorities to predict where they will occur and how long they'll last. Finally, we'll speak to the team behind the National Situational Awareness Tool - an electronic system that is driving the briefing products being produced by the Australian Government Crisis Coordination Centre.
