Wildfires can cause devastating property loss, and have long-term social, economic and environmental impacts. These impacts tend to concentrate in the urban-rural interface areas and peri-urban areas, where more people and properties are exposed to fire.

Access to information and collaborative resources is key for wildfire risk reduction. Accordingly, WildfireX delivers an online learning hub for the development, exchange and consolidation of wildfire risk reduction in the build environment knowledge.

The website includes a wide range of database, that contributes to sustainable development in wildfire-prone areas: building design, landscape, road and open space design, evacuation planning, vegetation management, fuel reduction practices, regulatory frameworks, response approaches, education programs, governance systems, research and student support.
