Dr Hamish Clarke (University of Wollongong, Western Sydney University and the Bushfire and Natural Hazards CRC) answers viewer questions that we didn't get time for during our Prescribed Burning Atlas launch webinar. The webinar took place on 14 July 2020. Watch the webinar here.

• 0:27 What are some examples of how fire and land managers can use the Prescribed Burning Atlas?
• 0:59 What range of fire weather scenarios were used in calculating risk?
• 1:46 The risk of bushfire impact when there is zero treatment differs from location to location. How is this factored into the analysis?
• 2:27 Do the indices in the risk matrix change to reflect the vegetation ecosystem?
• 2:49 Has there been any correlation between climate change and heat stress or heatwave consequences?
• 3:17 What is a simple explanation of TFI - tolerable fire interval?
• 3:46 Is there scope within the Prescribed Burning Atlas to investigate changing patterns of ignitions, and the impact of this on various metrics including cost?
