Strategies for a FireWise Community: Applying Bushfire CRC Research

Glenn O’Rourke
Wollombi Brigade Community Safety Officer
NSW Rural Fire Service

The key insights of the research conducted by the Bushfire Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) following the major fires of 2013 can be translated into practical bush fire survival focused engagement strategies. Wollombi Brigade’s research findings reveal the proven effectiveness of applying these strategies to build communities that are better prepared for the impact of bush fires, and are empowered to make informed and timely decisions.
