The post works with the Peace Corps Safety and Security Officer to reassess the health and safety risk level of bush fires in the post risk assessment.

The post works with the Peace Corps Safety and Security Officer, Office of Health Services, and Peace Corps Medical Officers to prepare Volunteers for the potential scenario in which their home or worksite is threatened by bush fires.

The post develops a support mechanism for Volunteers who report poor air quality and smoke in their homes and work areas.
