Excited to be presenting at #AFAC22 on @FireThriveAU's self-evacuation archetype tailored bushfire preparedness email campaign. Whilst evaluation is still underway, I'll unpack the process of behavioural analysis/mapping and resource design to achieve change.

Some of the behaviour today - when we’re asking people to stay home - has been really crap. It’s hard to change habits and it’s hard to see dangers that aren’t apparent yet. But with 3,000 cases of COVID in Australia this week, we’re headed to 100,000 in 2-3 weeks without change.
