This report outlines the development of a post-fire debris flow susceptibility model for New South Wales to better characterise the spatial variability in debris flow likelihood after bushfire. The work forms part of the Water Quality – Bushfire Recovery project of the Water, Wetlands and Coastal Science Branch in the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water.
Post-fire debris flows in New South Wales
Susceptibility modelling and implications for management
Debris flows are extremely damaging and dangerous post-fire hazards that can cause significant short- and long-term impacts to rivers and aquatic ecosystems, water quality, and infrastructure. However, they are a relatively poorly understood process in New South Wales.
