EDUCATION AND AWARENESS
An educated public is a safe public.
Veldfires are becoming ever more frequent and increased annual temperatures have impacted on the occurrence and spread of fires. At the same time, there is a growth in urban populations within areas prone to fires.
There is a need to budget and prepare for fire awareness projects in areas of concern. The focus of the projects should be on areas of high risk.
Communities residing in every Wildland-Urban interface will vary and any awareness campaign needs to be tailored specifically for that community. Campaigns should also have clear objectives, opportunities for feedback, and importantly, be part of a greater and integrated management plan.
