Kangaroo Island Firey Women Two-Day Workshop (12 & 13 December)

The award-winning Firey Women workshops provide a supportive and welcoming environment where women can build confidence, develop practical skills, and learn how to better protect their families, properties, and livelihoods from bushfire risk.

Combining expert information with hands-on activities, the workshops are designed to empower participants to make informed decisions and take practical steps to prepare for emergencies.

Attendance on both days is essential, as the workshop content is delivered progressively and participants need to attend all sessions to gain the full benefit of the program.

Workshop Topics Include:

• Understanding Fire Danger Ratings and warnings
• Discussing the differences between a "leave early" and a "stay and defend" plan
• Preparing a Bushfire Survival Plan
• Identifying hazards around the home
• Operating pumps and firefighting equipment
• Understanding bushfire behaviour
