Please note this workshop will be held over two full days, Wednesday 11th October and Friday 27th October. You're attendance is required at both sessions to receive the full benefit.

We have developed this workshop to provide women with a safe non-threatening setting to learn new skills to protect their families and livelihoods. Workshop topics include:

  • preparing yourself emotionally
  • understanding the new bushfire danger ratings and warnings
  • deciding when to "leave early" or "stay and defend"
  • preparing a Bushfire Survival Plan
  • identifying hazards around the home
  • operating pumps and fire fighting equipment
  • bushfire behaviour
  • preventing injury

These award winning workshops cover both information and practical sessions over two days or four evenings.
