Surviving Disasters Past: The Black Summer Fires
Surviving Disasters Past – The Australian “Black Summer” Bushfires, 2019–2020
📄 Episode Description
In the summer of 2019–2020, Australia faced a fire season unlike anything in modern history. Fueled by extreme heat, drought, and high winds, the “Black Summer” bushfires scorched more than 46 million acres, destroyed thousands of homes, and killed or displaced nearly three billion animals. Entire towns were surrounded by walls of flame, skies turned blood red, and thousands were forced to flee to beaches to escape the inferno. In this episode, we look at what happened, how people survived the unstoppable fires, and what preppers today can learn about bugging out, fire awareness, and resilience in a world growing hotter and drier.

🔥 What Happened – How record heat, drought, and high winds turned scattered bushfires into megafires that burned for 79 days and reshaped the continent.
