Permissions: Only certain user roles can view and edit data in Settings.

You can freely configure ignition and scenario dates in the RMP Sandbox. For more information, see the RMP Sandbox documentation.

Fire Danger Rating (FDR)

Configuration	Description	File type	Location in RMP
Fire Danger Rating system (FDR)	Based on the NSW FDR system (not AFDRS). These are set at 3 decimal places. BFRMP projects: Compulsory configuration (specific to each project) You can edit it any time in the Current Risk scenario (not after this) Statewide projects: The RMP pulls the FDR configurations set in Weather Regions and applies them to runs Local projects: The RMP pulls the FDR configurations set in Weather Zones and applies them to runs	N/A	BFRMP projects: Project setup Current Risk scenario run settings Statewide projects: Set in Weather Regions (Settings > Weather Regions)
Probability of FDR and probability of ignition by FDR	Used to calibrate the likelihood and consequence for risk calculations.	.json

Impact Analysis configurations

Assets (Vulnerability and Cost & Recovery)

Configuration	Description	File type	Categories	Can you change the defaults?	Can you override at a run level?	RMP location
Assets- Vulnerability Curve Values	For each asset type, a matrix of percentage values describes the default statewide probability of escalating Impact levels for escalating fire Exposure levels. These vulnerability curve values are integrated with the summarised Phoenix outputs to provide the initial risk assessment for each asset type. Each exposure row must add up to 100%. Each asset vulnerability curve will fall under an Asset group (e.g. Fencing curve is in Agriculture group). Each input asset will be assigned a Vulnerability Curve (e.g. Ag_Fencing is assigned Fencing curve values) A curve can be assigned to multiple input assets, but each asset can only be assigned to one curve. Note: Only certain RMP Amin users can edit these settings.	.json	Exposure None Ember Flame <2 Flame 2-10 Flame >10 Impact None Minor Major Destroyed	Yes	Yes	Default Settings > Configurations > Assets - Vulnerability
Assets - Cost & Recovery	For each asset type, a matrix of dollar cost per unit for each Impact category. The unit depends on the feature type of the asset, see categories. Each asset type also has a recovery time factor and a cost multiplier. When setting Cost & Recovery, available values depend on the .shp file type: Points: Each per 180m2 grid Lines: Each per km Polygons: Each per hectare per 180m2 grid Note: Only certain RMP Amin users can edit these settings.	.json	Impact None Minor Major Destroyed line $ per kilometre point $ per whole unit (ie each) $ for one per cell (ie only count one per cell) polygon $ per hectare, or $ per 180m2 grid, or $ per whole unit (EH to confirm with Katie)	Yes	Yes	Default Settings > Configurations > Assets - Cost & Recovery

Classification

Configuration	Description	File type	Category values	Can you change the defaults?	Can you override at a run level?	Location in RMP
Times Burnt (raster categorisation values)	Classification ranging from Lowest to Highest to classify and visualise the Times Burnt raster. No Impact = 0	.json	Category values Lowest Frequency Low Frequency Moderate Frequency High Frequency Highest Frequency	Yes	Yes	Default Settings > Configurations > Impact Analysis > Classification > Raster classification values
Residential Risk (raster categorisation values)	Residential risk classification from Lowest to highest. No Impact = 0	.json	Lowest Risk Low Risk Moderate Risk High Risk Highest Risk	Yes	Yes	Default Settings > Configurations > Impact Analysis > Classification > Raster classification values
Economic Risk (raster categorisation values)	Economic risk classification from Lowest to Highest. No Impact = 0	.json	No impact Lowest Risk Low Risk Moderate Risk High Risk Highest Risk	Yes	Yes	Default Settings > Configurations > Impact Analysis > Classification > Raster classification values
