The long standing trial of the National Bushfire Operational Boundaries dataset that EMSINA first built in response to the 2020 Black Summer Fires is coming to an end at 00:00 this Saturday. The two products impacted are:
National Bushfire Operational Boundary - 15 minutes
National Bushfire Operational Boundary - 3 hourly timeseries
Access to the historic products can be achieved by contacting through the clientservices@ga.gov.au.au. Geoscience Australia is also documenting the methodologies associated with this work; this should be done by the end-of-the-year.
Alternative National Data Sources:
Non-Standardised Dataset:
If your agency and/or State capabilities require non-standardised cross border bushfire operational boundary data we recommend that you refer to the EM-LINK capability and/or negotiate access to each jurisdictional data capability individually.
Standardised Dataset:
GA are unaware of any other standardised National Bushfire Operational Boundary Products.
If you wish to create your own cross border dataset please get in contact with GA (clientservices@ga.gov.au) and they will provide you with the raw FME aggregation scripts.
