Ember risk modelling for improved wildfire risk management in the peri-urban fringes
, 2021 Although embers are a leading cause of house loss and damage from wildfire, risk reduction activities such as vegetation management and planning requirements do not adequately account for the risk of embers. To help address this, a model of the potential
