Bushfire Safety

Risk Management Framework

QFRS has adopted a risk management framework known as the '5Rs' - Research, information and analysis; Risk modification; Readiness; Response; and Recovery.   The 5Rs were developed as a recommendation of the Bushfire Inquiry following the devasting fires of 2003.

The following links utilise this framework as a means of providing you with the relevant information.
