The “FuelGauge” app is the first of its kind in the country and aims to equip the community with the means of reporting fire fuel hazards in their communities.
Cradle Coast NRM strategy and implementation manager Ernst Kemmerer said it was important communities collected the data well before bushfire season. The formula for determining fire fuel hazard was developed by Dr Kemmerer and the app was designed by Burnie IT company 41st Degree Software in conjunction with the state government’s LISTmap services.
The FuelGauge app will be officially launched at a community workshop on Sunday at Boat Harbour, from 3pm.
