Federal justice minister Michael Keenan and Tasmanian police minister Rene Hidding have announced federal grants worth $400,000 to reduce the risk and impact of bushfires in Tasmania.
The eight funded projects include analysing baseline data to help forecast and model changes in fire weather, updating fire management plans for national parks and research to determine soil moisture thresholds and combustion.
Keenan said grants will support “much needed” research into bushfire prevention and management across Tasmania.
