Overview
This report reviews the social and psychological factors that influence whether people will decide to prepare for bushfires. Drawing upon research undertaken on bushfires in particular, and natural hazards in general, it discusses some general approaches to incorporating this knowledge into bushfire risk management and risk communication programs based on information dissemination and community engagement activities.
