Bushfire 09


Bushfire 09 :

Warnings: In 2009, a standardised Fire Danger Rating (FDR) was adopted by all Australian states. During the fire season the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) provides fire weather forecasts and by considering the predicted weather including temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and dryness of vegetation, fire agencies determine the appropriate Fire Danger Rating. In 2010, following a national review of the bush fire danger ratings, new trigger points for each rating were introduced for grassland areas in most jurisdictions. See: for example the following glossary Fire Danger Ratings are a feature of weather forecasts and alert the community to the actions they should take in preparation of the day. Ratings are broadcast via newspapers, radio, TV, and the internet. The following is the Fire Danger Rating: (1) Category: Catastrophic / Code Red, Fire Danger Index: Forest 100+ Grass 150+; (2) Category: Extreme, Fire Danger Index: Forest 75-100 Grass 100-150; (3) Category: Severe, Fire Danger Index: Forest 50-75 Grass 50-100; (4) Category: Very high, Fire Danger Index: 25-50; (5) Category: High, Fire Danger Index: 12-25; (6) Category: Low to moderate, Fire Danger Index: 0-12
