In the wake of the 2019/2020 megafires we interviewed Mina Howard about the HUFF program - a community program based on neighbours knowing and helping their neighbours.
Mina, who had the idea for Heads Up For Fire after the 2009 Victorian bushfires, tells us about the HUFF program, how it's evolved and some of the lessons learnt in the Blue Mountains during the 2019 megafires.
HUFF - "The Heads Up For Fire" project aims to ensure the wellbeing of people within the communities the Blue Mountains in the event of bushfires and other emergencies."
First broadcast on Radio Blue Mountains 89.1FM on 17th January, 2020, before the COVID-19 pandemic. The Mount Victoria Great Train Weekend discussed in the interview has been postponed because of the pandemic.
