      How to add the most recent Australian bushfire information?

      This documentation is always evolving.

      With Mapcreator, you can add the extents of current wildfires in Australia. The data is sourced hourly from the Australian Government's Digital Atlas.

      Where to find it

      You can find the ‘’Bushfires AU’’ layer under the ‘’Live Data’’ section of the ‘’Data overlay’’ menu. Clicking on the layer’s name will add the perimeters outlining the current bushfires to your map.

      How to get this map updated:

      If you’d like to show this project as an interactive map on your website, we recommend you download this map as an iframe. The map will then also automatically update every 60 minutes. 

      And on a static map?

      The data in the tool is always providing the most recent updates. Meaning that if you reopen an existing project in the tool, it will automatically also have the most recent data. Download your map again and you’re ready.
