Assist us with research into the October 2013 NSW bushfires

The Bushfire CRC and NSW Rural Fire Service are seeking your assistance with research relating to the October 2013 bushfires.

The NSW RFS engaged the Bushfire CRC to carry out community research, which is looking at how people in the affected areas prepared for the threat of fire, and how they responded.

The research is focusing on areas including the Blue Mountains, Port Stephens and Southern Highlands.

The information gathered will help in compiling a report for the NSW RFS, to assist with improving community safety programs.

An online survey is now available, and can be completed via the NSW RFS website.

Face to face interviews have also been conducted in the affected areas. These interviews have now completed and both the Bushfire CRC and the NSW RFS would like to thank everyone who has contributed to this research project.
