Victorian Auditor-General John Doyle has issued his "Heatwave Management: Reducing the Risk to Public Health" report. He argues that there are concerning deficiencies in the preparations for any new catastrophic heatwave. A total of 374 casualties were caused by such a crisis in 2009, and 167 in early 2014. While the Health Department has made some progress on the issue, Doyle notes shortcomings at Victoria Police, Ambulance Victoria, local councils and public hospitals
