Welcome to the Bushfire-Ready Neighbourhoods Events and Services Section
Who we are
Bushfire-Ready Neighbourhoods is an award winning research and evidence based program that focuses on building a 'shared responsibility' approach to bushfire preparedness through recognising that individuals, communities and the Tasmania Fire Service all play a part.
The program's aim is to build resilience and capacity in bushfire prevention and preparedness in Tasmanian communities most at-risk to bushfire through a sustainable community development approach.

We are helping high risk Tasmanian communities to work together to prepare for bushfires.
Some of the community bushfire activities include:
- Information Sessions

Building on a successful community development pilot 2009-2013, the program focuses on building a 'shared responsibility' approach to bushfire preparedness through recognising that individuals, communities and the Tasmania Fire Service all play a part.
The program's aim is to build resilience and capacity in bushfire prevention and preparedness in Tasmanian communities most at-risk to bushfire through a sustainable community development approach.
The program commenced in 2014 with regional Community Preparedness Officers commencing at the Tasmania Fire Service, Community Fire Safety Division.
