Description The National Bushfire Intelligence Capability (NBIC) is providing national awareness for bushfire hazard and risk. It recognises that disaster risk reduction requires an informed shared understanding of bushfire hazard and risk across the disaster Prevent-Prepare-Response-Recovery (PPRR) continuum. The NBIC approach is unique in that it was conceived and is being implemented as an integrated socio-technical system to ensure that data design and relevance is optimised and to support longer-term climate adaptation decision making.

NBIC Stage 1 achieved the generation of bushfire behaviour maps that consider future climate over a range of timescales using the best available and readily accessible data. This data collection comprises a set of demonstration outputs that show bushfire hazard severity potential and various layers that are used to calculate it. These include draft input mapping rasters for slope and fire weather potential (baseline and projected).

The NBIC workflow uses a powerful cloud-based digital platform to enable the rapid co-development, testing and delivery of national extent products. NBIC Stage 2 will build on this work to produce more refined outputs of bushfire hazard, incorporating ongoing advances in data and science to support medium- to long-term decision support needs.
