    Australia experiences frequent bushfires and floods due to its climate and geography. Bushfires are caused by both natural factors like lightning as well as human factors like arson. They can have devastating impacts such as loss of life, destroyed homes and damage to infrastructure. Floods often occur after heavy rainfall that overwhelms dams and reservoirs, and flash floods in particular can cause severe damage. Mitigation efforts aim to reduce fire and flood risks through controlled burns, fuel reduction, drainage improvements, and other strategies.
