During a bush fire, power outages and communications disruptions can affect how you receive emergency information. Don't rely on just one source.
Stay informed by:
• Downloading the Hazards Near Me app.
• Listening to local radio, including ABC Radio.
• Checking the NSW RFS website.
• Calling the Bush Fire Information Line on 1800 NSW RFS (1800 679 737).
Having more than one way to receive updates can help you stay safe when conditions change.

Another aspect when planning for emergencies - don’t forget your Pets & livestock

Protect your pets by including them in your Bush Fire Plan. Don't leave pet safety until the last minute and have a plan of where to go and how to get there.
To prepare your pet:
• Ensure your pet is Microchipped and your details are up-to-date on the NSW Pet Registry.
• Plan where your pets will go if you need to leave. Not all evacuation centres cater for pets.
• Prepare a 'Grab and Go' pet kit with food, water, a lead, a carrier, medication and bedding.

Planning for pets and animals is an important part of your household's bush fire preparations, make sure you prepare the following:
Emergency kit:
• Food and water - At least three days' worth of food and water.
• Any medication, records and first aid supplies
• Comfort and sanitation items -Bedding, blankets or favourite toys, plus cleaning and sanitation supplies.
Identification:
• Ensure your pet has identification, including a collar or tag, current registration and microchip detail. Pack a recent photograph, and copies of key veterinary and contact information.
Transport:
• Have everything you need to safely transport your pet ready to go, including a lead, harness or muzzle (where appropriate), and a suitable cage or carrier. Plan ahead for where your animals will stay, as some evacuation centres may not accept pets or larger animals. |
A little preparation now can make a big difference during an emergency.

Make sure you have hoses long enough to reach around your home, a reliable source of water (pool, tank or dam) and a diesel/petrol pump available. A well prepared home will give you more protection if a fire threatens suddenly and you cannot leave. Learn more at www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/ prepare
