Snapshot surveys of the informal settlements will provide stochastic data to be used in the modelling and fire experiments.

Interviews will understand regulatory and policy contexts of the resilience cycle for informal settlements with respect to fire.

Controlled experiments on real scale informal dwellings will occur in the UK and in South Africa. 

Single and double dwelling experiments will occur in the UK, while large area fire experiments will occur in the South Africa.

Use of current and historical satellite data, with quantified experimental and modelling analyses, to produce a framework able to identify and quantify fire risks within informal settlements.

Develop better practical, evidenced-based guidelines, grounded in the current social, economic and political realities, to improve the resilience of the informal settlements against fire.

Guidelines will be developed with stakeholders within the settlements and the municipalities to ensure they are appropriate and achievable.
