Review: Many bushfire hazard events can be detected in advance, allowing some warning to be given to populations at risk. The ability to issue a warning in a timely and comprehensive format is only one component of an effective warning system. The value of a warning is also a function of whether people can respond effectively on receiving it. If we can identify the reasons for the ineffectiveness of warnings, then we will be in a better position to develop both effective warnings and ensure that the intended recipients can respond appropriately on receipt of a warning
