This overview provides a consolidation of the findings from the interviews and online surveys conducted by the\ Bushfire CRC researcher into the community understanding of bushfire safety and responses in the context of the\ October 2013 Bushfires in NSW. This work was commissioned by NSW Rural Fire Service.\ This research had two separate {\textendash} but interconnected {\textendash} components, (i) a series of interviews with residents in\ a number of fire impacted communities, and (ii) an online survey (also targeted to those communities but open\ more broadly to fire impacted areas in NSW ) each of these has been analysed and reported upon in detail in the\ reports submitted. Both components focused on common themes and the following summarises the combined\ responses.\ 

The executive summaries from the two individual reports are provided at the end of the consolidated findings.

In October 2013, a number of large destructive bushfires resulted in the loss of property in the greater Sydney area. Following such events, it is important to liaise with the community to understand their actions on the day and what agency information was effective and what was not. Learning from these events means that management responses can be improved for future bushfires, hopefully resulting in a reduced loss of property and the ongoing protection of life.

The Centre for Environmental Risk Management at the University of Wollongong ran an extensive online survey for residents in the fire affected ares. \
