Catalyst special: Don’t Panic: Surviving Extremes

This Sunday ABC1 screens a Catalyst special designed to educate audiences about bushfire and cyclone dangers.

In the special, two volunteer families will experience what it’s like to go through these emergencies.

On the first day of summer ABC1 will broadcast a TV event like no other.

How would your family cope in a Category 3 tropical cyclone? Or a catastrophic bushfire?

Two volunteer Australian familes – two terrifying natural disasters. In a one-hour Catalyst special, Dr Jonica Newby uncovers the links between climate change, human psychology and disastrous bushfires and cyclones.

Sunday 1 December 7:30pm ABC1.
