The risk of bushfires is high this spring and summer because of hot, dry weather and the accumulation of dry combustible material.
The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) website has five steps to prepare for bushfire season. The steps include how to prepare and where to go if you need to evacuate.
You can also use NEMA’s Australian Disaster Resilience Knowledge Hub for resources about your state or territory.
Remember, aged care providers must have an emergency management plan in place for bushfire season to keep older people safe.
Go to the DoH website for guidance on preparing an emergency management plan.
