Features in this release
Create and manage BFRMP modelling projects
Bush Fire Risk Management Plan (BFRMP) modelling projects allow you to run scenarios that assess bush fire risk for one or more BFMC. These scenarios produce various outputs that you can use to create risk products to inform Bush Fire Risk Management Plans (BFRMP). With the RMP, you can manage your project in one place and share your work with your team. When you create a project, the RMP automatically sets it up using default statewide inputs and configurations.
Run modelling scenarios an unlimited number of times
Run modelling scenarios to predict the spread of fire across the landscape at a point in time and assess the risk to assets. Modelling scenario runs consist of two parts:
Fire Behaviour (run via Phoenix RapidFire).
Impact Analysis (run using a Fire Behaviour run outputs)
You can clone runs, edit and override its default inputs and configurations as you get feedback on data from BFMCs and rerun them to test different inputs and create updated outputs.
View and download modelling scenario outputs
After your run is complete, you can view the following modelling outputs:
Fire behaviour run outputs:
A summary of raw Phoenix outputs (numerical)
Summary maps of environmental model inputs (geospatial)
Summary maps of fire behaviour metrics (geospatial)
The ignition points predicted to cause the most residential risk (numerical and geospatial)
The ignition points predicted to cause the largest fire (numerical and geospatial)
Impact Analysis run outputs:
Uncategorised and categorised risk maps (raw and geospatial)
Density of asset locations (numerical and geospatial)
You can download outputs and upload the data to the Bush Fire Information Portal (BIP)
Manage statewide inputs and configurations in Settings
The RMP uses statewide input and configurations (including Phoenix settings) for a project’s default settings. Admin users can manage these in Settings, including:
Bulk uploading input datasets
Tracking input uploads in the version history
Track project user interactions with the activity log
Download a CSV file of all user interactions in a project in its activity log.
Add project metadata for team visibility in project notes
Keep ongoing notes for your project, including metadata or details you might want to share with your team. Each project has a notes popup box which all users can see.
Track project progress with the modelling project list
Get a high-level overview of all projects and their status—in progress, complete and archived. You can see each project’s unique project code, which BFMC is modelling risk for, when someone created the project, and where it is up to in the modelling process.
