Understand how your house will be attacked by a bushfire and what you can do to reduce your risks
Webinar Wednesday 21 July 2021
Dr Justin Leonard, CSIRO

And not the traditional checklist that we talk about on what we prepare for and what we do on the day, or how we how we plan our hierarchy of approaches on the day. I'm talking about a checklist of what actions a house might be faced with, and what considerations we might use that checklist of mechanisms that could attack a house to really deeply consider how our house and surroundings might respond.
