Abstract
The Risk Assessment and Decision Making project has developed a proof of concept tool with the aim of providing critical fire planning information to emergency services, government and the public. The Fire Impact and Risk Evaluation Decision Support Tool (FireDST) is an advanced software program that can be used to understand the potential impacts a bushfire may have on community assets, infrastructure and people. FireDST demonstrates the ability to predict the probabilities of both neighbourhood and house loss, as well the potential health impacts of bushfire smoke and the areas that are likely to be affected by a bushfire. This Fire Note reports on the Risk assessment and decision making project, conducted under the Bushfire CRC Understanding risk program. This project builds on the understanding developed during two projects from the first phase of the Bushfire CRC (2003-2010). The Bushfire management business model project, developed the PHOENIX RapidFire model for simulating bushfires (see Breakout Box 1), whilst the Building and occupant protection project informed the current understanding of a building's vulnerability to bushfire.
