State of emergency - a podcast by ABC Radio

Extraordinary measures have been ordered across New South Wales.

There's 60 fires burning in that one state alone. Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong are facing catastrophic fire conditions ahead.

That's why we've updated a story we produced a month ago, which asks the question: are our emergency services equipped for what's ahead?

This episode was made in a collaboration between ABC Regional, Landline, and Background Briefing.
