Commissioner Klemm talks about the changing landscape of emergency services, the untapped potential of robotics and unpiloted aircraft in the sector, and the exciting advancements in modelling and visualisation for bushfire and flood prediction.
He also discusses the role of AFAC's National Resource Sharing Center in coordinating international deployments, the innovative upgrades to Western Australia's emergency warning system, and the importance of fostering a culture of innovation within traditionally conservative fire services.
