Welcome to My Project
Hi, I’m Matthew Shing, a Year 11 student at Knox Grammar, living in Sydney, originally from Hong Kong. I’m passionate about raising awareness of bushfire safety and dedicated to educating people on how to protect our communities from these natural disasters.
Understanding Bushfires
Bushfires have long been a natural part of the Australian landscape, but in recent years, their intensity and frequency have escalated dramatically. Sydney, surrounded by dense bushland, has been particularly vulnerable to this growing threat. The impact of bushfires extends beyond the immediate danger to lives and properties; it affects the environment, wildlife, and the health and well-being of communities.
On this website, we delve into the complex issues surrounding bushfires in Sydney. From the science behind fire behaviour to the latest strategies in fire management and prevention, we aim to provide a comprehensive resource for understanding and addressing this critical issue. We also highlight the personal stories of those affected, the heroic efforts of firefighters, and the ongoing work to rebuild and recover.
Get Involved
Join us as we explore the challenges and solutions in managing bushfires in one of Australia's most iconic cities. Through awareness and action, we can work together to mitigate the impact of these devastating events and protect our communities for future generations.
