The Gawler River Floodplain Management Authority is set to benefit from a nationally developed risk modelling and projection tool developed by the Bushfire and Natural Hazards CRC and the University of Adelaide.
This Hazard Note highlights the key findings of the Bushfire CRC research after the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires, focusing on fire behaviour, human behaviour, and building and planning issues.
The old ways of dealing with the fire problem are no longer valid, especially in the context of a changing climate and changes to the way we live with fire in the environment, particularly in our wonderful remote areas of wilderness. After all, the fires were here long before we chose to live amongst their territory, and they are not going away. Quite the opposite.
