This book examines the ways in which emergency management
organizations make sense and learn from natural disasters.
Examining recent bushfires in Australia, it demonstrates that
whilst public inquiries that follow such disasters can be important
for learning and change, they have ultimately created a learning
vacuum insofar as their recommendations repeat themselves. This has
kept governments and society focused on learning lessons about the
past, rather than for the future. Accordingly, this book recommends
a new approach to sensemaking and learning focused on prospective
planning rather than retrospective recommendations, and where
planning for the future is seen as the shared responsibility of the
government, society, and the emergency management community in
Australia and beyond.
