“I’m engaged in this because I was stuck in the fires with my two brothers. We fought for six and a half hours for neighbours in the house. We saved the property, but we shouldn’t have come out of it.” Adrian Turner, CEO of Minderoo Foundation Fire and Flood Resilience Initiative, joins us in this impactful, heartfelt and grounded podcast episode that hits home. Tune in to hear the massive cost and impact of natural disasters - societally, environmentally and economically – and about the common-sense and attainable data-driven alternative that spatial data combined with machine learning technologies offers us. We could save billions of dollars and keep communities safe by reducing the harm caused by natural disasters. Learn about the resilience dividend Australia can earn by getting it right, and hear Adrian speak about the the technology, policy and data gaps in disaster response in Australia and globally and the many opportunities that these challenges present.
