The Australian Fire Danger Rating System (AFDRS) represents the most significant update of the nation's fire danger ratings since the 1960’s, marking a generational change in how fire danger is calculated and communicated. The AFDRS is a collaboration between state, territory, and federal governments. It improves public safety and reduces the impacts of bushfires through:

• Simplified rating levels.
• National consistency.
• Action-oriented guidance.
• Community-centric design.
• Providing decision-making tools for government and industry.
• Integration of the latest science and technology.
