Bushfire Resilience Rating Home Self-Assessment
A pioneering world-first bushfire resilience assessment app, designed to protect communities, homes and lives.
Action Partners
Developed by Australia’s leading bushfire experts and supported by the Australian federal government, IAG, NAB and BlueScope Steel, the Bushfire Resilience Rating system takes a best-practice and holistic approach to bushfire resilience that covers building, landscaping and ongoing maintenance.
The free Bushfire Resilience Rating Home Assessment App will empower everyday Australians with the risk information they need to make their homes more resilient to bushfire.
The Resilience Rating system also has the potential to give insurers, banks and investors a framework for financing and rewarding bushfire resilience adaptations.
Disaster and Energy Efficiency Resilience Ratings
The Resilience Rating system measures the disaster resilience and energy efficiency of buildings. It will provide an independent global standard to measure, rate and reward resilience.
The Resilience Rating will make it easier to adapt homes to our changing climate, by providing a single home assessment, integrated recommendations and ratings certification capability for bushfire, storm, flood, cyclone, heatwave, thermal comfort and energy efficiency.
The system works by assessing site-specific risk and measuring a home’s vulnerability. It will provide households with a list of evidence-based, tailored actions to adapt their home, improve their resilience rating and enable financial incentives.
The Disaster and Energy Efficiency Resilience Ratings are in development and will be launched in 2024.
