BE READY NOW
1. Be informed
Use RFS sites and handouts for information about what to do
Have Fires Near Me app on phone and check regularly
2. Be prepared - long before fires are in your area
Have a Bush Fire Survival Plan for your family and home
Refer to RFS information about preparing your home
Know what to do if you choose to stay or have to stay
Keep fuel in car topped up at all times in case of evacuation
Have empty bags or tubs available for packing
If you own pets familiarize them with evacuation cages or leads
Ensure cages or leads can be accessed if you aren’t there and are labelled
with pet’s name and your name and contact details
Investigate face masks for smoke or at least damp washers
3. Be aware, be a neighbour
Know who lives near by – are there elderly or disabled who might need
to get out sooner – have they got things in place?
Are there pets near by that might be alone if their family is at work?
4. Know when and where to go
Evacuation routes and evacuation centres will depend on fire direction
Listen to RFS alerts and follow the instructions of fire fighters
Individual households need to be aware of best and alternate routes.
Consider traffic congestion and hazards and leave early
REMEMBER
Fires don’t always arrive on days when everyone is home
What do you need to keep secure in case you aren’t home?
Is it worth considering a fire and waterproof safe?
Are there some emergency items that are worth keeping with you in case you
can’t return home
Refer to the list (over the page) of what to take and consider a back up of any of these
to keep with you when out of the house
