Incomplete list of links to seismic/natural disaster reports from around the Pacific Ring of Fire, days 01 to 05 of Gregorian January 2020.
AUSTRALIA: If you look at my past Pacific Ring of Fire postings you’ll realize that the U.S. and Aussie militaries conduct disaster training operations through out the year. The question I have is why does the deployment of the Aussie military, during these unprecedented fires, seem so ineffective?
Here’s an economic reality check to Australia’s disaster preparedness: 70-thousand Aussie firefighters are not paid, not even for food or fuel!!!
Apparently humans should be blamed for the unprecedented fires because they were operating under the same bogus ‘save the forest’ mentality as the U.S.; don’t touch anything and let everything grow unchecked (the natives in the U.S. didn’t do that, that’s why the landscape seemed so pristine to the invading Europeans): There’s only one way to make bushfires less powerful: take out the stuff that burns
