Children's bushfire knowledge

Posted by David McLoughlin
Wednesday, 25 January 2012

Pioneering Bushfire CRC research is helping children learn about bushfires and other hazards as well as helping education, emergency service and other authorities enhance the effectiveness of bushfire education campaigns.

Bushfire CRC PhD scholar Briony Towers has conducted extensive interviews with children living in fire-prone parts of Victoria and Tasmania.

Briony’s work has been recognised as so outstanding that various authorities  -- including the CFA -- began drawing on it well before she presented her PhD thesis in late 2011.

Full details are in the latest Bushfire CRC fire note, available here.
