L-aħħar tbassir dwar in-nirien fl-imsaġar u l-buxx fl-Awstralja, juri li hemm periklu akbar ta’ nirien f’partijiet tal-Awstralja dan is-sajf. Minkejja x-xita reċenti fix-Xlokk tal-pajjiż, l-awtoritajiet jgħidu li l-periklu tan-nar huwa imminenti.
L-aħħar tbassir dwar in-nirien fl-imsaġar u l-bush fl-Awstralja juru li hemm periklu akbar ta' nirien f'partijiet tal-Awstralja dan is-sajf. Minkejja x-xita reċenti fix- xlokk tal-pajjiż, l-awtoritajiet jgħidu li l-periklu tan-nar huwa imminenti.
Waqt li s-sajf issa magħna, in-nies fl-Awstralja qed jiġu mħeġġa biex joqgħodu attenti minn nirien. Il-Ministru għall-Iżvilupp Reġjonali, Christie McBain, tgħid li dan l-istaġun ta' nirien fl-imsaġar jista' jpoġġi lin-nies fil-periklu jekk ma jkunux ippreparati. Għalhekk, rridu ikollna pjan dwar kif naġixxu fil-każ ta' nar. Fejn immorru jekk jaqbad nar, fejn huma l-postijiet ta' evakwazzjoni u li nieħdu ħsieb dawk l-aktar vulnerabbli fil-komunità.
We want to make sure that individuals are prepared in this upcoming high-risk weather season. It is incredibly important now to move towards those bushfire-ready plans, to understand where evacuation centers will be located, and to make sure that we are caring for vulnerable cohorts in your local community.
Il-Kummissarju tal-Immaniġġjar ta' Emerġenza għal Victoria, Tim Wiebusch, qed issa li partijiet tal-pajjiż jistgħu jkunu medda min-nar malajr.
We are likely to see over the summer months warmer temperatures than normal, both daytime and nighttime. And what that means is even though we've seen really good spring rainfall, we will see our conditions dry out again and that will see further fuels in our environment, both grass and in our forested areas.
Fl-aħħar tdbassir tal-istaġun dwar n-nirien fl-imsaġar u l-buxx, il-Kunsill Awstraljan u ta' New Zealand għas-Servizzi tan-Nar u l-Emerġenza identifika periklu akbar ta' nirien f'partijiet tal-Awstralja tal-Punent, New South Wales u Victoria. Il-Kap Rob Webb jgħid li ma kellniex daqs tant xita kif kien ittamat fl-istati tal-Lvant tal-Awstralja.
And it's showing above average, fire potential for a number of parts of Australia. Over, uh, western New South Wales and southern Queensland, areas of above average fire danger are expected because of the, prolific grass growth that's happened out there through recent, uh, heavy rains. Doesn't take long for that grass to cure and the concern out of the New South Wales Rural Fire Service is that that grass may dry out as we get into the early parts of summer and those days of 40 degree, 40 degree days may see that dry out and that could lead to above average and, fire potential and fast-moving grass, fires.
Il-Kap tal-Ttifi tan-Nar għal immaniġġjar tan-nirien fil-foresti ta' Victoria, Chris Hardman, jgħid li l-kundizzjonijiet niexfa fit-tul fl-istat qed jikkawżaw tħassib partikolari.
We've had some really significant long-term drying, particularly of the forested areas, and many people in regional and rural Victoria know that that rainfall shortage is causing real problems.
Rob Webb jgħid li l-kundizzjonijiet niexfa tal-art ħolqu kundizzjonijiet biex il-ħaxix niexef jaqbad malajr.
One of the- the things that, precursor to particularly bad fire conditions are when you do have that deep, really deep drying. So not only do your grass fuels dry out, but your- your trees start to come under stress as well. It can lead, once the- the heat gets in of summer, can lead to rapid drying and, uh, fires can spread through much more easily.
Hekk kif, dħalna fix-xhur tas-sajf, il-Kunsill għas-Servizzi tan-Nar u l-Emerġenza qed iwissi wkoll lin-nies li jgħixu barra minn żoni ta' periklu għoli ta' nar biex joqogħdu attenti wkoll min-nirien u jiċċekkjaw il-website tal-Awtorita' tan-Nar Lokali biex jiċċekkjaw il-pjan tagħhom ta' kif jaħarbu min-nirien, jekk mamlux dan diġà.
