Fire recovery review

A team from the University of Melbourne is evaluating the recovery response to the 2019 Bunyip forest complex bushfires.
Cardinia Shire council has commissioned the independent research to look into council's response and help guide future planning.
The study team is keen to hear from people that were involved in any way with the recovery efforts including volunteers, paid staff and community members immediately after the fires and since.
It would like to hear of activities by people and groups in recovery activities, events or programs.
Irrespective of whether the involvement was extensive or brief the researchers would like to learn of what worked or could be improved in responding to disasters such as the 2019 fires.
They expect to hold interviews until Thursday, October 20.
Information about the project and registering to take part is available on the university's online form and by contacting Professor Louise Harms via email at louisekh@unimelb.edu.au or by telephoning (03) 8344 9413.
