Mitigation Module — Hazard Reduction Planning & Coordination Better preparation. Stronger collaboration. Safer communities. We're planning a dedicated Mitigation Module within FireFront X, designed to help brigades plan, organise and coordinate hazard reduction activities, including Hazard Reduction Burns (HRBs). From initial planning and operational scoping through to resource coordination and activity completion, the Mitigation Module aims to bring the essential planning information together into one organised workspace. Planned capabilities include: - Hazard Reduction Planning: Create and manage proposed HRBs, including objectives, locations, proposed dates, activity details and operational considerations. - Operational Scope & Documentation: Record burn boundaries, treatment areas, planning notes, risk assessments, supporting documents and other relevant information. - Inter-Brigade Collaboration: Invite other FireFront X-enabled brigades to participate in planned mitigation activities, improving coordination across brigade and group boundaries. - Resource & Personnel Planning: Coordinate participating brigades, appliances, equipment, personnel requirements and other resources. - Activity Scheduling: Manage proposed dates, planning milestones, preparation requirements and activity status. - Centralised Communication: Keep participating brigades informed through shared planning information, updates and coordination tools. - Records & Reporting: Maintain a structured history of mitigation activities, including planning information, participation and completed work. The Mitigation Module will be designed to complement existing agency procedures, approval processes and specialist mapping or operational systems, rather than replace them. All mitigation activities will remain subject to the relevant jurisdictional requirements, authorisations, environmental conditions and operational procedures. The vision: Give brigades a central place to turn mitigation ideas into coordinated plans, connect with neighbouring brigades and work together to reduce bushfire risk. Because effective bushfire management doesn't begin when the pager goes off. It begins with preparation, planning and working together.
