Have you got a Bushfire Survival Plan?
โญ๏ธDo you understand the bush fire risk in your area?
โญ๏ธDo you know what you would do in the event of a fire?
โญ๏ธIs your property prepared for you to safely defend it? Or is it prepared enough to hopefully survive the impact of fire if you are not home?
๐ฅNow is the time you must review your plans, prepare your property and have the important conversations with your family about what you will do on days of increased fire danger or if a fire should threaten your home
