I’d be interested in your comments, PDRM participants, on this ‘Fire Shield Plan’ as being promoted by WA’s Andrew Forrest. Interesting that the DRR diagram (DRM Initiatives – particularly scientific research) highlights and encorages new technology such as this. Personally, I think there’s a danger of over-relying on technology to solve issues such as these – whilst they’re important, they need to be complemented by other actions (such as the other 11 DRM initiatives in the DRR diagram). Rys, your perspective as a Mayor over there in WA?
