LIVING WITH WILDFIRE IN THE UK AND IRELAND |
About the survey
You are invited to participate in a 15-minute survey that focuses on community wildfire resilience.
The survey aims to learn from people who live and/or work in areas that are at-risk or have been directly impacted by wildfire or associated smoke.
The project focuses on rural, urban and interface areas in the UK and Ireland, alongside comparative case studies in the Alps and the Mediterranean. This will provide insights that can help build community coping capacity across culturally and climatically diverse regions.

Dr. Christine Eriksen at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zürich) is carrying out the research as part of a five-year project funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation. Christine has worked with communities in wildfire-prone regions internationally for the past two decades.
Participation is voluntary and confidentiality is assured. The answers of participants who choose not to provide their contact details are completely anonymous and their data therefore cannot be withdrawn once it has been submitted. ETH Zürich will store the data securely.
While the survey is designed to not ask sensitive questions, recollecting aspects of an emergency can be emotionally upsetting. Should you require support, Samaritans provides telephone crisis support 24/7: call 116 123.
