Bushfire shutters in the Blue Mountains: articles

Articles on what a Blue Mountains owner runs into before a shutter is ordered: what the RFS lists for preparing a home, what CSIRO says about shutters and mesh, and the NSW licence line. Every one rests on a single statement from a government or science page, which is named and dated.
