Most Bushfires in Australia are monitored using satellite detected "hotspots" coupled with on the ground information from different Fire Organizations.
MyFireWatch is an online map-based tool that provides important information about hotspots to emergency service managers and the general public.
Each State has its own Bushfire Authority (see below).
Weather alerts and forecasts allow short term ember attack areas, smoke danger and likely spread of fire to be estimated.

A key factor in the crisis facing the world is ourselves - people, humans - and our desire to consume and aspire to enjoy a lifestyle that may/is not beneficial to a sustainable future.
Most countries seem focused on rebuilding "the economy" after any widespread natural disasters or the current Covid-19 Pandemic. It is our opinion that the approach may be flawed in that building the economy implies that there will be an increase in population that requires new infrastructure (transport, water, waste disposal, health facilities etc).
Overall trends are that the population continues to grow - at different rates for different regions or countries. It is also an ageing population that brings with it more demands on health systems (aged care) and family.
Lifestyle aspirations involve costs (housing, education, travel etc) and young families generally are forced to have both parents working. Early Child Care centres have sprung up to service this trend.
Some starting links dealing with these issues are listed below.
