How fireproof is your bushfire plan?

Dangerous bushfires can start at any time. It's important to understand your risks and plan what you'll do to keep safe when a bushfire threatens your home and family. One of the most critical and valuable things you can do is to make a bushfire plan. Take the time to discuss these simple questions:
When will you leave? What will you take? Where will you go?
