China Provides Australia with Satellite Images and Data on the Bushfire

The continuous high temperature has plagued the southern Australia, especially Victoria and South Australia since February 2009, leading to the worst wild fire in the country’s history and causing severe casualties and losses. Coordinated by Chinese organizations including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, MOST, the Ministry of Civil Affairs (MCA), the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Australia, National Disaster Reduction Center of the MCA promptly provided satellite monitoring images and information on the Australian bushfire to Cooperative Research Centre for Spatial Information (CRCSI) of Australia.
