Lesson Fourteen: Making a Bushfire Plan

Our family bushfire plan:

We will get there by:

We will take:

Our trigger to leave early will be:

(Consider triggers such as a high fire-risk day, fire close to your home, the smell of smoke or

a bushfire alert.) It is recommended that children always leave early.

(Depending on where the fire is located, you might consider other roads or paths. You can find out if

there is a Neighbourhood Safe Place in your local community by calling your local Fire Brigade.)

(Prepare your emergency kit as well as anything else you might need in advance, including

medications or pet needs.)

We will go to:

(Consider low fire-risk areas.)

Hey Parents! You can find some great tips on how to make a bushfire plan with your kids in this handy ebook

Don’t forget to make a plan for your pets!

We will tell:

Our places of last resort are:

If we cannot leave the house, we will:

If a bushfire happens when we are at school,

we will:

(Make sure people know where you are going to and you tell them when you get there safely.)

(Sometimes things don’t go according to plan. To make sure your family is always safe, make a

back-up plan).
