Changing conditions for bushfires and other hazards that are now occurring year round; utilisation outputs from a range of CRC projects and a new grant that will enhance resilience towards cyclones are all unpacked in Fire Australia Issue Four 2018.

Climate change is causing more severe weather, but just how do we deal with these changing conditions on such a large scale? What do we need to do for the future to ensure we are prepared for the inevitable? Read more here.

This edition also features insights on how CRC research is providing critical outputs for the fire and emergency management sector. Read about the science behind improved fire danger ratings, communications and warnings, animal emergency management, risk modelling, educating children about disaster risk reduction and volunteer management.

A new grant based on CRC research is retrofitting homes in Queensland against the dangers caused by cyclonic winds. The scheme gives eligible homeowners the chance to make their home more resilient home to ensure that it can withstand the threat of a cyclone that could occur in tropical north Queensland. Houses built before the 1980s are at great risk of being lost during severe weather events. Find out if you are eligible here.

Fire Australia is a joint publication of the Bushfire and Natural Hazards CRC, AFAC and the Fire Protection Association Australia. Find this and previous editions of Fire Australia at www.bnhcrc.com.au/news/fire-australia.
