Big Weather (And How to Survive It) (2020)
With unique access to Australia's emergency services, first responders and local communities, and packed with information for communities on how to manage extreme weather events, Big Weather (And How to Survive It) is an emotionally gripping series filmed over one intense summer, and preparing us for more.
Shot on the frontlines during Australia's Black Summer of 2019-20, this 3-part ABC factual series delivers an urgent and empowering message of how our weather is changing and what we can do to survive it.
Big Weather presenter, Craig Reucassel charts the 2019-20 summer as oppressive heatwaves set temperature records that lead to Australia's worst fire season on record. Over this period more than 20 million hectares of forest went up in flames: a fifth of the continent's forest and an area twice the size of Belgium. Then in a cruel contradiction, catastrophic fire is followed by severe storms and flash floods.
