Methodology
A screenshot of the cover of the Methodology for national bushfire hazard mapping.
Completion of NBIC Stage 1 achieved generation of bushfire hazard maps that consider future climate over a range of timescales using appropriate and readily accessible data.
These outputs were developed using the National Bushfire Intelligence Capability (NBIC) Stage 1 Methodology for national bushfire hazard mapping.
Using a staged approach, NBIC aims to convey national bushfire hazard in a standardised yet flexible manner, so that information is accessible, useable, and useful at all locations and relevant in supporting decisions relevant across a broad range of scales – from individual properties through to continental.
To do this NBIC utilises multiple input data sources and a variety of fire behaviour modelling.
Stage 1 outputs are presented for fire weather, terrain, fuel load and fireline intensity.
