BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Australia: El Nino could see increased fire danger periods in Queensland

August 14, 2014 Reprints

Australia's Bushfire and Natural Hazards Cooperative Research Centre said Queensland could face one of its worst bushfire seasons in five years, ABC Online reported.

The center said there is a 50% chance of El Nino weather patterns starting in September that could increase fire incidents and extend the fire season. At present, more than 60% of the state is suffering from a drought. During the 2009 El Nino weather event, there were 16,000 vegetation fires.
