BellingenNSW<p>Community Efforts to Care for Animals During Climate Disasters: <br>Experiences and Recommendations from an Australian Bushfire Affected Region</p><p>"Formal disaster prevention, preparation, risk management, and response remain highly anthropocentric, with non-human animals afforded minimal attention, resourcing, and support. This article reports on informal community efforts to care for non-human animals during and after the 2019/2020 “Black Summer” bushfires in Australia, when over three billion animals were killed, injured, or displaced."</p><p>"Key findings are that: <br>human communities understood and treated non-human animals as part of their communities; humans went to extraordinary lengths to care for and rescue animals; these efforts were largely invisible to, and unsupported—even condemned—by formal emergency management agencies. We conclude that human-centric emergency and disaster management policies are at odds with community values and behaviors. We argue that disaster management must evolve to accommodate and support the realities of community-based rather than individual-based approaches, and must simultaneously expand to consider communities as multispecies."<br>&gt;&gt;<br>Sturman, A., Celermajer, D., MacDonald, F. et al.

AI6YR Ben<p>Random trivia I learned from a wildfire expert: after the Great Fire of 1906 in San Francisco, the city was built on exactly the same city street lines and layout (no improvements or changes made), because: private property rights.
