FRR covers overall best practice for property layout, design & retrofit, fuel load management, BCA fire safety regulations guidance & managing the impact of changing climate The Fire: Recovery & Resilience Program (FRR) Introduction This special program is designed and delivered by our team of experts, to empower communities with the vital strategies & techniques to create safer & more sustainable environments, properties and communities in the face of the ongoing threat of fire. The FRR program has been developed out of our long running, award winning and extremely popular Great Gardens and Heavenly Hectares/Property Planning Programs, which we have delivered in partnership with Department of Agriculture, The Swan River Trust, DFES, Federal Caring for our Country, NDRP, SEMC programs and various Natural Resource Management agencies; as well as over 63 Local Government Agencies. We have run, as a pilot program, 6 FRR events in three severely fire affected councils in WA - Mundaring, Kalamunda, Toodyay and the City of Armadale all with great success. We blend the program with the input from a range of leading experts to provide details to participants on the following key topics: Fire safe sustainable landscape management and design - usually with a garden celebrity such as Sabrina Hahn, Steve Woods and or Chris Ferreira, focusing on how to create fire safe and drought resilient landscapes. Bushland management with a Landcare management expert to balance fuel loads and reduce weed burdens Architectural advice/assistance with a practicing specialist architect to help interpret AS 3959, BAL assessments and give strategies and tips on building or retrofitting for fire safety and recovery Bushfire Safety – preparedness plan – with Rohan Carboon - our bushfire safety consultant - providing participants with a plan that places their residence within their suburb/region and the tools to assess for themselves when to stay and defend and when it is time to get their family and livestock to safety. The Program Delivers Based on over 100 years of combined experience in Australian vegetation and landscape management; we know that past participants from our programs feel more confident and safe in their properties with a much greater awareness and understanding of their local conditions and the potential impacts of any natural disasters such as wildfire. Check out our videos! Fire Retardant Plants & Safety FRR: An Introduction www.theforeverproject.com.au © 2018. The Forever Project. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. The Economic Case for Engagement The Hard Facts “The economic cost of natural disaster in Australia is expected to rise to $63 Billion by 2050 (3.5% increase per year) but carefully targeted programs of resilience expenditure focusing on educating and empowering the community, if successfully implemented, could see Australian and State Government expenditure on natural disaster response fall by more than 50% by 2050 6% of houses located within 100m of bushland (71,000 properties in Melbourne) are responsible for 87% of total housing losses during a bushfire. This has lead to the development of building codes to reduce ember attack. These are not mandatory for existing properties in fire prone areas and this is an area where community education could generate real benefits of around $1.45bn in NPV giving a benefit cost ratio of 1.4 Each year an estimated $560 million is spent on post disaster relief and recovery by the Australian Government compared with an estimated consistent annual expenditure of $50 million on pre-disaster resilience: a ratio of more than $10 post-disaster for every $1 spent pre-disaster” Deloitte Access Economics: Building our nation’s resilience to Natural Disasters, 2013 “Less than 8% of residents had a dedicated fire management plan In summary: most residents interviewed reported having some level of concern about bushfire threat before the 12 January fire. Most reported having a bushfire plan; however, few reported having a written plan. Few had undertaken extensive preparations to reduce house vulnerability and few had planned and prepared for leaving safely if threatened. None of those interviewed had left for a safer location on the basis of fire danger weather predictions before the fire was reported. The findings overall, are similar to those from post-bushfire interviews undertaken by the Bushfire CRC following bushfires that occurred in Tasmania and NSW in January 2013 and in NSW October 2013.” Capturing Community Members’ Bushfire Experiences: Interviews with Residents Following the 12 January 2014 Parkerville (WA) Fire “It is clear that the information that we are presenting to the community be it brochures, commercials on TV and …emergency warnings is not resonating with large sectors of the community. In order to make a real difference in the medium to longer term there needs to be some level of a shift in perceptions within agencies. Continuing to invest in big red trucks for example isn’t going to make much difference in public safety. The real
