(2) The risk management methodology is as follows: Step 1: Risk Context · Establish fire management objectives relating to each asset and value, identify key stakeholders and establish performance indicators. Step 2: Risk Identification · Identify the value and vulnerability of each asset including ecological values. Under the WTA this is the Values at Risk component. · Identify the risk of wildfire and inappropriate fire regimes for the defined landscape or location, including the likelihood of ignition and the probable progress and intensity of bushfires. Under the WTA these are the Ignition Potential, Fire Behaviour Potential and Suppression Response components. Step 3: Risk Analysis · Analyse risks by determining the likely impacts and consequences of a fire on the set of identified assets or values. Step 4: Risk Evaluation · Evaluate threats by comparing the level of risks determined during analysis and how these risks change for various treatment options. Step 5: Risk Treatment · Treat risks by selecting, prioritising and implementing fire management strategies and actions to reduce threats and the likelihood of impacts and consequences of wildfire harm. In applying the WTA CALM communicates and consults with stakeholders, and monitors and reviews risk-treatment strategies to ensure they are effective and remain relevant with changing circumstances. CALM is also working with the Fire and Emergency Services Authority (FESA) to develop a Bushfire Threat Analysis that extends the WTA to all land categories, not just CALM-managed lands. This system will also be based on the AS/NZS 4360 Risk Management Standard. (3) An example is the WTA undertaken for 4 million hectares of conservation lands, unallocated Crown land and private property in the Coolgardie-Southern Cross area of the Goldfields Region. This work demonstrates the WTA methodology for developing a Fire Prevention Plan for this area. [See table paper no.] (4) Not applicable. (5) CALM measures its performance in wildfire risk management as indicators reported in the Department's Annual Report. These include data on (i) the number, area and location of wildfires, (ii) the area of planned burns undertaken to achieve fire management objectives including biodiversity conservation, community protection, silvicultural purposes and asset protection, and (iii) fire suppression and detection effectiveness and efficiency for bushfire mitigation or management. CALM is also participating in a national project, coordinated through the Australasian Fire Authorities Council, to develop agreed best practice national fire performance indicators for landscape fire mitigation and fire management. It is anticipated that these national performance indicators will be completed during 2007. (6) The methodology currently used by CALM to measure its performance in wildfire risk management includes: · Identifying, recording and reporting on all wildfires on or near CALM-managed lands, including the cause, area, cost and damages incurred for each wildfire. · Reviewing the performance and issues associated with large, damaging wildfires, including the effectiveness of mitigation measures and suppression operations. · Monitoring and measuring where practical the application of prescribed fires relative to burn objectives, standards, and locations of burnt and unburnt patches, including use of satellite imagery to map burn patterns and intensities, and unburnt patches. · Monitoring how prescribed burns, roads and firebreaks contribute to the containment and mitigation of wildfires, and using this information to review and plan future fire management programs, standards, priorities and resourcing. · Investigating deliberately lit and suspicious fires to determine cause and identify suspects, often in conjunction with the Police Arson Squad and the FESA Investigation Unit. · Plotting patterns of wildfire ignition to identify suppression effectiveness and where necessary refine fire prevention, fire detection and fire mitigation programs. · Monitoring and mapping changes in fuel loads and fire hazards to determine future risk management strategies and priorities, including prescribed burning, the maintenance of roads, bridges and water supplies, and fire suppression response arrangements.

· Identify the risk of wildfire and inappropriate fire regimes for the defined landscape or location, including the likelihood of ignition and the probable progress and intensity of bushfires. Under the WTA these are the Ignition Potential, Fire Behaviour Potential and Suppression Response components. Step 3: Risk Analysis · Analyse risks by determining the likely impacts and consequences of a fire on the set of identified assets or values. Step 4: Risk Evaluation · Evaluate threats by comparing the level of risks determined during analysis and how these risks change for various treatment options. Step 5: Risk Treatment · Treat risks by selecting, prioritising and implementing fire management strategies and actions to reduce threats and the likelihood of impacts and consequences of wildfire harm. In applying the WTA CALM communicates and consults with stakeholders, and monitors and reviews risk-treatment strategies to ensure they are effective and remain relevant with changing circumstances. CALM is also working with the Fire and Emergency Services Authority (FESA) to develop a Bushfire Threat Analysis that extends the WTA to all land categories, not just CALM-managed lands.
