During the 2019-2020 Black summer bushfire season, fires raged through the northern and western areas of Kangaroo Island, extensively damaging bushland, farming land, residential and commercial infrastructure. Some 38% of the Island was burnt out, with the heaviest damage extending from the centre of the island through to the Western end.

Disaster Relief Australia has previously conducted two national operations on Kangaroo Island to assist with the recovery from the Black Summer Fires. Both Operation Turner and Operation Tiger in 2020 were cut short due to Covid-19.

In March of 2022 our operations team re-visited the island to re-assess previous unfinished taskings to also complete further damage assessments on properties that still require assistance. DRA is now looking to once again offer assistance to help not only complete the recovery work, but also resilience work in the areas that will once again be at risk when the next bushfire season arrives.

PROPOSED TASKINGS

  • Fencing repair/removal
  • Refurbishment of burnt vegetable & animal enclosures
  • Debris removal
