Online Household Assessment Tool. What’s Your Risk? Are You Prepared?

Melissa O’Halloran
Senior Project Officer Community Planning
NSW Rural Fire Service

Understanding and accepting bush fire risk is an essential first step in the planning process. Knowledge and understanding of human behaviour around risk perception and planning continues to develop, particularly through research.
The online Household Assessment Tool (HAT) has been remodelled to reflect the numerous elements that are interwoven into understanding and accepting bush fire risk. HAT is also a resource to support engagement with residents about risk assessed at the property level and what to do about it.
