Abstract: This review article defines and highlights the role of smart grids in case of bushfire. It proposed an early warning and evacuation system based on Australian regions’ geographical and climatic information in particular the region of Kinglake in the State of Victoria, Australia. The proposed system is able to detect, alarm, help to evacuate as well as to extinguish fire especially in easy burning wild and remote areas such as areas in the Victorian Kinglakes region.
Keywords: Smart grid, climatic, early warning system
