Answer-) Planning and controlling issue related to australian bushfires.The Australian bushfires was one of the worst natural calamities that occurred on the face of the earth. Due to record breaking fires and months of drought in Australia is the cause of such drastic fire as said by experts. Controlling this fire has not been an easy task where 10 millions hectares of land was burning and firefighters, airplanes and helicopters were all trying to control the fire. The issues which they face is that minir fires were being controlled of but the major fires had become so huge that even thousands of litres of water was dropped from helicopters and planes , but all the effort was going into vain. Their was a strict challenge for the local and federal authorities to employ so many army people and fire fighters in the record breaking temperature to relinquish the fire. A firefighter and three army men also lost their lives and hence planning was made more safeprone so that other people can't be harmed. To gather so many kits and equipment to transfer water from lakes to the fire was not an easy task. Government also faced a lot critsicm for not being ready for this type of disaster situation.
