Bushfire Safety Awareness

With increased bushfire risk forecast for northern and central NSW, southern WA, and later in summer for Victoria, and above-average temperatures predicted nationwide, experts urge all Australians to prepare for dangerous bushfires—even in areas with normal risk levels. The best preparation includes staying informed through official channels, creating and practising a bushfire survival plan with your household, ensuring your home is clear of flammable debris, and packing an emergency kit with essentials. Every household should have a reliable bushfire safety resource such as the Complete Australian Bushfire Safety Book or Essential Bushfire Safety Tips, which offer practical advice relevant anywhere. Regularly review and refresh your plan and supplies to ensure you’re ready to respond to any bushfire situation.
To be safe from bushfires you need to start preparations early.
To prepare, you need the best possible information.
