维多利亚州2026年的野火烧毁了400,000公顷土地,如2009年的黑色星期六大火,仅造成一人死亡,与2009年的173人死亡相比有了显著改善。

This decline is attributed to reforms following the Royal Commission, which found failures in emergency communication and the “stay or go” policy.

Since then, officials have prioritized clear, early evacuation warnings, supported by a $200,000 public outreach campaign and improved alert systems, including the VicEmergency app.
