DC002 - Aggregating and harmonising fuel data on a national scale 

Research Investment

Researchers: Beryl Morris (Principal investigator)

Brief description Fuel data describes the combustible materials in a
defined space and its related attributes such as type, amount, structure and
moisture. Accurate estimation of fuel, alongside information about the type of
vegetation at a location is key to managing and mitigating bushfire risk.
Multiple organisations across different jurisdictions collect and use fuel data.
However, there is no coordinated approach and community standards to harmonise,
aggregate and share fuel data parameters across different stakeholders. This
work will define implementation processes and systems for ongoing sharing of
fuel data and related attributes for meeting the needs of multiple stakeholders
and to better enable Australia-wide bushfire response and
preparedness.
