Don't wait until it's too late! Prepare now.

Your Bushfire Plan can help you make important decisions before you could be threatened by a bushfire.  Being prepared can make it less stressful and may reduce the impact. It could save your life and the lives of those you love and care for.

Bushfire Preparation Tips:

  1. Create or update your Bushfire Plan.

  2. Talk about your Bushfire Plan with family, neighbours and friends.

  3. Clear your property and prepare an
    emergency kit.

  4. Know when to leave and where to go.

  5. Check ABC local radio, TasALERT.com or the TasALERT app, and the Tasmania Fire Service website (fire.tas.gov.au). Follow the Tasmania Fire Service and TasALERT on social media.

  6. Monitor the weather (bom.gov.au) and know if a total fire ban is in place.
