Abstract

This project aimed to examine circumstances and challenges experienced by residents when sheltering during bushfires in order to establish an evidence base to support policy reform and community education initiatives. To address this, this report presents: 1) a review of sheltering practices in Australia and 2) the results of a qualitative and quantitative investigation of people’s experiences while sheltering during the 'Black Saturday' bushfires on 7 February 2009.
