Overview
Community Bushfire Safety brings together in one accessible and comprehensive volume the results of the
most important community safety research being undertaken within the
Australian Bushfire Cooperative Research Centre (CRC). Using
perspectives deriving from social science, economics and law, it
complements the extensive literature already existing on bushfires,
which ranges from ecology and fire behaviour to information about
emergency management. In doing so, the book supports the increasing
emphasis on community safety and the vital role it has to play in
Australian bushfire management.
