The bushfire risk rating for each community is described as either High, Moderate or Low and is current as at 30/06/2020. The primary purpose of the investigation was to map, describe and evaluate bushfire risk to inform Bushfires NT and Northern Territory Fire and Rescue Service on the bushfire emergency preparedness of remote communities and evaluate the associated bushfire risk. The data was compiled using desktop assessment tools and on-site validation processes will continue to inform the risk assessment scores. Service providers are encouraged to contact Bushfires NT to assist with the validation process.

Data source 1: Aboriginal community locations - Northern Territory Place Names Register, Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Logistics. Website http://www.ntlis.nt.gov.au/placenames/ Bushfires NT (BFNT) completed a Northern Territory-wide risk audit and risk assessment in 2019/2020 funded through the National Disaster Resilience Program. The bushfire risk audit assessed remote communities against a set of criteria that contributed to bushfire risk, including; Administration - Is the community located inside a Fire Protection Zone? - Does the community have a municipal service provider? Environment - Is the community located in a low rainfall area? - Has the community experienced less than one fire every two years in the last 20 years? - Is the community located outside the gamba grass declared zone? Opportunity - Is the community located within a Volunteer Bushfire Brigade area? - Is the community located within an Indigenous Ranger Group's operational area? - Is the community located within a registered, active Savanna Burning Project area? Preparedness - Does the community have a fire plan? - Does the community carry out fuel reduction activities? - Does the community have an established fire break? Complexity - Does the community have a school? - Is the estimated population of the community greater than 100 people? - Does the community have bulk fuel stores? Not all audit criteria are stored in the final spatial dataset provided to the public.
