1 Use of Decision Support Tools for Bushfire Risk Management in NSW Presented by Stuart Midgley Director of Risk Management Performance NSW Rural Fire Service Definition Decision support tools or decision supporting systems are interactive computer-based programs that aid users in decision making 1
2 Why Use Decision Support Tools? Aid human cognitive deficiencies Support choice among well-defined alternatives Employ artificial intelligence methods to heuristically address problems that are intractable by formal techniques Increase productivity, efficiency, and effectiveness Decision Support Tools for Bushfire Risk Management in NSW Bushfire Attack Assessor A tool for bushfire attack assessment Bushfire Risk Register A tool for bushfire risk management planning 2
3 What Is Bushfire Attack Assessor? Bushfire Attack Assessor is a computer program which can be used to: determine the level of bushfire attack and the corresponding standard construction level calculate safe setback distance for a given construction level or a radiant heat threshold Formulate and evaluate alternative solutions Bushfire Attack Assessor 3
4 Models Implemented by Bushfire Attack Assessor Inputs of Bushfire Attack Assessor Vegetation type Effective slope Separation distance Flame angle (optional) Elevation of receiver (optional) Site slope 4
5 Settings of Bushfire Attack Assessor Flame characteristics Flame temperature Flame emissivity Flame width Fuel characteristics Surface fuel load Overall fuel load Fuel height Fire behaviour Rate of spread model Flame length model Fire weather Fire Danger Index Wind speed Ambient temperature Relative humidity Radiation exposure Predefined radiation thresholds for each category of attack Choice for modelling atmospheric attenuation Settings - Fuel Characteristics 5
6 Outputs of Bushfire Attack Assessor Rate of Spread Fire Intensity Flame Length View Factor Radiant Heat Flux Category of Bushfire Attack Level of Construction Standard Preview/ Print Assessment Report 6
7 Example I Determine Construction Level Major Parameters Setting: Surface fuel=20t/ha Overall fuel=25t/ha Flame temp.=1090k Emissivity=0.95 Flame width=100m FDI=80 Example II Determine Separation Distance Inputs and Settings of Major Parameters: Dry Sclerophyll Forest Level ground Surface fuel =20t/ha Overall fuel =25t/ha Flame temp.=1090k Emissivity=0.95 FDI=100 Air tamp.=308k Air humidity=25% Radiant Heat Flux (kw /m 2 ) 80 RHF=29 kw/m^2 70 RHF=19 kw/m^2 RHF=12.5 kw/m^ Separation distance(m) 7
8 Example III Derive Radiant Heat vs. Time Profile Veg.=Tall heath Slope=0 degree Sep. distance=20m Surface fuel =25t/ha Overall fuel =25t/ha Fuel height=3m Flame emissivity =0.95 Flame temp. =1200K Flame width=100m Wind speed=45 Km/h Air tamp.=308k Humidity=25% Radiant Heat (kw/m^2) Time (min) What Is Bushfire Risk Register? Bushfire Risk Register is a computer program which is designed to: automate the computation involved in risk analysis process provide an electronic means for registering, storing, searching and reporting the risk analysis and treatment data add spatial features to the registered assets facilitate hazard and risk mapping process 8
