Catastrophic
If a fire starts and takes hold, lives are likely to be lost
- These are the worst conditions for a bush or grass fire
- Homes are not designed or constructed to withstand fires in these conditions
- The safest place to be is away from high risk bushfire areas
For your survival, leave bushfire risk areas
- Stay safe by leaving high risk bushfire areas the night before or early in the day – do not wait and see
- Your life may depend on the decisions you make even before there is a fire:
- When you will leave
- Where you will go
- How you will get there
- When you will return
- What you will do if you cannot leave
