Project: Fire Risk Modelling

Dynamic fire modelling and communication

This University of Melbourne-funded project builds on two related projects, Wildfire risk communication and New wildfire risk models, to develop a unified, dynamic platform for modelling and communicating wildfire risk. The key advance in this project is setting up the data inputs to be live and updateable (on a monthly basis), making outputs more tangible and relevant to fire managers and the general public. The platform will also be a valuable resource for research into risk and risk communication, enabling new analyses on an ongoing basis.

Project timeline: 03/2024 – 06/2025
