Australian Seasonal Bushfire Outlook: April 2020

Fire management is a year-round process and the Australian Seasonal Bushfire Outlook: April 2020 reflects the priorities in each state and territory over the next three months. It takes into account the impacts of the 2019/20 fire season and the weather conditions expected in coming months. Although the risk of uncontrolled bushfire is lower in most areas, the fire potential remains high in some specific regions due to the long-term low rainfall. It is important to remember that areas designated as normal or below normal fire potential may experience bushfire – normal or below normal risk does not mean there is no risk.

The Australian Seasonal Bushfire Outlook: April 2020 is used by fire authorities to make strategic decisions such as resource planning and prescribed fire management to reduce the negative impacts of bushfire.
