Managing Fire Danger Days Is Catastrophic bad for you?
Why Fire Danger Ratings? • Changes in fire weather will affect fire intensity • AS 3959 compliant houses can withstand up to Catastrophic conditions • Shelter in poorly prepared houses is a problem • People need trigger points for Bushfire Survival Plans • ‘Old’ FDR system not precise enough
How do I get to know about FDRs? • Bureau of Meteorology • CFS website • RSS feeds • Broadcast radio • Smartphone App
If I choose to relocate early where do I go? • SA Bushfire Safer Places strategy • Safer Settlements • Bushfire Safer Precincts • Last Resort Refuges • These should be factored into Bushfire Survival plans regardless of any decision to ‘Stay and Defend’
