NRS-22271 | Records of the NSW Independent Bushfire Inquiry

This series contains records from the consultation process, submissions, research and report writing for the NSW Independent Bushfire Inquiry.On 30 January 2020 the Premier announced a six month Inquiry into the 2019-20 bush fire season to make recommendations in relation to bush fire preparedness and response. The Inquiry worked to understand what happened during the 2019-20 bush fire season and how it was different to seasons that have come before, and to make recommendations for future improvements to how NSW plans and prepares for, and responds to bush fires. Submissions were submitted from bushfire-affected residents, emergency and support personnel, organisations and the general public. The stories and photographs were valuable informing the Inquiry’s work. (1)Endnote1. Department of Premier and Cabinet, Final Report of the NSW Bushfire Inquiry 31 July 2020, p.iv.
