The state of Victoria in Australia has had a long history of catastrophic bushfires, the most recent of these, the Black Saturday bushfires of 2009 claiming 173 lives. Legislation, planning, management and suppression are the responsibilities of the Victorian State Government through its departments and agencies including the Country Fire Authority (CFA) and the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP). ==Fire districts== Victoria is divided into nine fire districts〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Country Fire Authority )〕 as follows: *Central (includes Melbourne, Geelong and Ballarat) *East Gippsland *Mallee *North Central *Northeast *Northern Country *West & South Gippsland *Western District *Wimmera The districts were reconfigured together with weather forecast districts so that they share common alignments. The revised alignments follow Local Government Authority boundaries, except in Yarriambiack Shire. The new alignments came into effect on 3 November 2010.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Bureau of Meteorology )〕 Total Fire Bans & Fire Danger Ratings maps reflect predictions of the relative danger of bushfire conditions in each district and are communicated to the general public through weather forecasts and the Country Fire Authority and Department of Environment and Primary Industries internet sites during the fire season.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=CFA )〕 The ratings are Low-Moderate, High, Very High, Severe, Extreme and Code Red.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=CFA )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bushfires in Victoria」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
