澳大利亚经历了一系列灾害，但在长期干旱期间，最常见和最具破坏性的自然灾害之一是森林火灾;即使洪水覆盖了澳大利亚的一些地区，火灾也在摧毁其他地区。是否意识到一个人的风险水平，使我们的准备，以打击未来的火灾风险的差异？还是我们必须亲自在家门口遇到火灾，然后才采取行动，以确保下次发生火灾时，我们知道我们已经尽了一切努力来避免火灾危险？在澳大利亚最严重的森林火灾季节之一和东南部昆士兰州持续发生毁灭性的草地、森林和火灾风暴一年后，对农村居民（N = 713）对森林火灾准备和经验调查的反应进行了一项更大的研究。关于该调查的描述性数据的报告已在其他地方发表。这里提出的分析集中在风险，暴露和经验因素与农村地区的火灾准备与火灾历史。
这篇文章的重点是作者居住多年的东南部昆士兰州（SEQ）。东南欧的森林火灾季节一般在春季和夏季（BOM，2007年9月13日; http：//www.bom.gov.au/inside/services_policy/fire_ag/cnfire/threat.htm）。
Australia experiences a range of disasters, but during the prolonged drought, one of the most common and devastating natural disasters has been that of bushfires; even when floods were covering some parts of Australia, fire was destroying other areas. Does awareness of one’s level of risk make a difference to our preparedness to combat future fire risks? Or is it that we have to personally encounter a fire on our own doorstep before we take action to ensure that the next time it happens we know that we have done all we could to avert the fire danger? A larger study on rural residents’ responses (N = 713) to a survey on preparedness for, and experience of, bushfires was conducted a year after one of the worst bushfire seasons in Australia and after ongoing devastating grass, forest and fire storms in South East Queensland. A report on the descriptive data from that survey has been published elsewhere. The analyses presented here focus on risk, exposure, and experience factors relating to bushfire preparedness in rural areas with a bushfire history.
This article focuses on South East Queensland (SEQ) where the authors have resided for many years. The bushfire season in SEQ is generally experienced in spring and summer (BOM, 13.09.07; http://www.bom.gov.au/inside/services_policy/fire_ag/bushfire/threat.htm).
