INFORMATION SOUGHT ON WILDFIRE EVACUATION POLICY AND RESEARCH.
We are starting a major research project on wildfire (bushfire/forest fire) evacuation. In some areas of Australia residents are advised to stay with their properties and actively protect them during a wildfire. One reason for this is that late evacuation is believed to be dangerous. We are keen to establish what the wildfire evacuation policies are outside of Australia. We would greatly appreciate any information about policies in other countries, or research and evaluation that may have been done in the area of wildfire evacuation.
