Counterdisaster planning for mass fatalities begins with an analysis of the types of disasters likely in a given area and the vulnerability of the area to those disasters. Mass-fatality disasters can be classified as man-made or natural. A historical list of the major man-made disasters in Australia is provided. Potential natural, disasters in Australia, such as bush fires, floods, cyclones, and earthquakes, are discussed. The Australian Bureau of Meteorology provides warnings in many of these situations. Counterdisaster planning in Australia is primarily a state responsibility. The Natural Disasters Organisation of the Federal Department of Defence operates an Australian Counter-Disaster College.
大规模死亡事件的反灾难规划始于对特定地区可能发生的灾难类型以及该地区对这些灾难的脆弱性进行分析。大规模死亡灾难可分为人为灾难或自然灾害。文中提供了澳大利亚主要人为灾难的历史清单。还讨论了澳大利亚潜在的自然灾害，如丛林火灾、洪水、气旋和地震。澳大利亚气象局在许多此类情况下都会发布预警。澳大利亚的反灾难规划主要由各州负责。联邦国防部的自然灾害组织运营着一所澳大利亚反灾难学院。
