Project Title Description Management outcome Dynamic smoke intelligence using remote sensing and fixed sensors (ERP 4) Bushfire & Natural Hazards CRC and CSIRO This research will on the existing smoke intelligence system (model), integrated with the smoke modelling (prediction) system, which is used to collate and analyse sources of social media, remote, and field sensing data, to calibrate and validate smoke predictions. The intelligence system will improve assessments about the nature and extent of smoke from planned and unplanned fires and its impacts on communities, industry and infrastructure - enabling better management decisions and communication. Completion date: August 2018 Community impacts of smoke (ERP 5) Bushfire & Natural Hazards CRC, and The University of Tasmania This project will develop a means of estimating and monitoring the impacts of smoke on the health of communities from bushfires and planned burns. Data will be sourced both from health care sources (e.g. Nurse online, health clinics), and social media (e.g. locations of imagery, By refining thresholds of smoke impacts on community health, including, irritated eyes, nasal and respiratory passage, asthma, and coronary events, DELWP can optimise opportunities to achieve planned burning, while minimise the impact of smoke on the community. Completion date: August 2018
