Independent Reviews into Bushfires in Tasmania
|
|
Tasmania's fire agencies have worked in partnership to consider and complete recommendations from three independent reviews of two major bushfire seasons in Tasmania - in 2016 and 2019.
Each review provided invaluable learnings and recommendations that have helped the three fire agencies (TFS, Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service and Sustainable Timber Tasmania) enhance and improve on cooperative working partnerships and response a preparedness capability.
The progress of the review recommendations is available for download. |
