"As I write this, five people are dead and at least 1,000 buildings have been
destroyed by wildfires that have swept across Los Angeles. Around 100,000
people have been ordered to evacuate.
We are not yet sure of the scale of the disaster, but maps show it is burning
across many suburbs. That is shocking. We are looking at a disaster unfolding
in real time.
But we knew this would happen eventually. We have moved from possible futures
to these things now happening. The deferment has ended.
So, could something similar happen in major Australian cities – and how
prepared are we? The answers are: yes, and not very."
