The purpose of this Community Report is to gather and validate observations from relevant sources internal and external to DFES. These observations have been used to develop insights and lessons that can be utilised to improve and assist the DFES and the broader emergency management sector in operational responses.
The Community Report is specific to the Adverse Fire Weather Event (AFWE) experienced in Southern Western Australia during February 2022.
This Community Report identifies primary areas of interest in Planning and Mitigation, Emergency Response and Resources capability areas of the State Emergency Management Committee (SEMC) Emergency Management Capability Framework.
The lessons identified in this report will be considered by DFES and shared with our emergency management partners, for consideration. All observations will be retained and may be used for further learning opportunities.
The Calgardup Bushfire which occurred in December 2021, occurred during the same high-threat period and was a precursor event to the AFWE. This bushfire is included as a supplementary report within this Community Report due to the similarity across the themes collected from the observations.
