This area of research is for improving the understanding of the links between risk and households, as well as providing insight into how households react, how prepared they are and what behaviours they display when confronted with an emergency in their homes.
From such research evaluation of various interventions by fire and emergency services can be explored and ultimately developed to contribute to the safety and wellbeing of the community.
