As part of the ‘House Refuge – Development of best practices and standards for buildings and their surroundings in areas at risk of wildfire’ project, a video was developed summarising some of the best practices for managing the risk of fire near buildings. This video is divided into the three main components of the project:
1) management of fuels in the surroundings;
2) construction practices and materials;
3) legislative and normative aspects.
