Quick Summary:

The Pilbara region in Australia has faced record-breaking heat waves, posing severe challenges for miners and infrastructure.

Metals and natural gas producers in the Pilbara and the region’s communities, including Aboriginal Australians with a local history stretching back at least 40,000 years, have long managed weather risks, contending with tropical cyclones that menace the northwestern coast, regular bushfires and flash floods.

A 49-year-old exploration field technician working for Rio died in October 2017 after collapsing during a search for new drilling sites in the Pilbara, according to Western Australia's Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety.
