ADVICE means a fire has started. There is no immediate danger. Stay up to date in case the situation changes.

WATCH AND ACT means there is a heightened level of threat. Conditions are changing and you need to start taking action to protect you and your family.

EMERGENCY WARNING is the highest level of alert. You may be in danger and need to take action immediately. Any delay puts your life at risk.

Download Hazards Near Me and set a watch zone around your property. Make a bush fire survival plan that will give your property, your family and yourself the best chance of survival at myfireplan.com.au
