Australia’s National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has reported that it led a delegation of senior fire and emergency officials from across Australia to California from 9 to 18 June 2025.
Topics also included the logistical and operational aspects of mass evacuations, as well as the use and limitations of aerial firefighting resources.
The purpose of the nine-day visit was to reaffirm cooperation between Australia and California on emergency management, following the large-scale wildfires in Los Angeles earlier this year.
NEMA Deputy Coordinator-General for Emergency Management and Response, Joe Buffone, said: “This is an important opportunity to prepare ahead of the next Higher Risk Weather Season and I’d like to thank our Californian partners for sharing their experiences, so we can better inform our fire management and prevention strategies back home.”
