WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
Check and follow your Bushfire Survival Plan. Protect yourself from the fire's heat - put on protective clothing. Tell family or friends of your plans.

IF YOU ARE LEAVING
Leave now, don't delay. Roads may become blocked or access may change. Smoke will reduce visibility. Secure your pets for travel. If you become stuck in your car, park away from bushes, cover yourself, get onto the floor as the windows may break from the intense heat.

IF YOU ARE NOT LEAVING - PREPARE TO DEFEND
Identify a safe place inside, with more than one exit, before the fire arrives. Keep moving away from the heat of the fire. Bring pets inside and restrain them. Move flammable materials such as doormats, wheelie bins and outdoor furniture away from your house. Close doors and windows to keep smoke out. If you have sprinklers, turn them on to wet the areas. If the building catches fire, go to an area already burnt. Check around you for anything burning.
