Australia has a long history of natural hazards. The famous Dorothy MacKellar poem about a sunburned country is replete with references to a whole bunch of them. In this episode of The Urban Squeeze, Jason Byrne asks just how vulnerable are our cities to natural hazards and what can we do about it? As well as discussing the types of natural hazards facing cities now and into the future, Jason discusses how cities respond to disasters in the immediate aftermath, in the medium term and the longer term. He also considers some options for making cities more resilient into the future - something likely to be widely necessary as climate change impacts intensify.
