It was great to witness this generational change in how we prepare for bushfires. When coupled with the Australian Warning System, and the dedicated fire and emergency services sector, communities will be better equipped to make the right decisions wherever they are.
We're proud to launch the Australian Fire Danger Rating System today alongside @NSWRFS @BOM_au EMA & our state & territory fire agencies. From tomorrow the system will deliver nationally consistent fire danger ratings backed by enhanced data & information. firedangerratings.com.au
The last day of #AFAC22 is for our Professional Development Program! This morning 4 groups headed off for field trips across Adelaide and 3 workshops are running on recovery, lithium-ion batteries and spatial technologies.
Excited to be presenting at #AFAC22 on @FireThriveAU's self-evacuation archetype tailored bushfire preparedness email campaign. Whilst evaluation is still underway, I'll unpack the process of behavioural analysis/mapping and resource design to achieve change.
It didn’t take long to find the cutest delegate at #AFAC22! Meet Ember, the crisis response dog 🐶❤️

So simple yet so effective. Great video from Victoria to explain a new, truly Australian Fire Danger Rating System - built on the latest science to support fire agencies and designed with communities to help them to make the right choices, wherever they are.
From 1 September, four new fire danger ratings will replace Victoria’s previous six. This helpful animation explains the changes and the new ratings you'll start to see all across the state and country.
Great speakers doing great work.

At the MCG to watch the mighty Tigers and I have the bonus of seeing just how diverse our emergency services agencies are. Spine tingling display. Proud to have a couple of Webbs on the field. Thanks @HawthornFC & @ESF_Victoria. So important we thank these important people.
The Australian Warning System is rolling out across the country for different hazards. @SimoneMcdonnell @AFACnews is giving #EMPA2022 the details.
I was touched to be able to accept such wonderful gift on behalf of the team who deployed to Canada in 2021. International partnerships are vital for us to continue to develop and it was great to continue the strong partnership with our @CIFFC friends.

Loving #AFAC21 so far. Just one morning in and the collective brain power is pretty special. I love the mix of knowledge and passion - it means we are in good hands as we try to meet the challenges of the future.
Another great BoM snapshot to supplement the cyclone and flood warnings. It’s 2 minutes well spent if you need an overview of what is happening.
