Community Awareness

Property owners are responsible for developing their own knowledge and understanding of the level of
bushfire risk specific to their respective properties. A household bushfire plan is required and must take
account of matters such as where occupants are during the day (at home, work or school), if any occupants require special
assistance (i.e. infants, the elderly or the ill), evacuation routes available, evacuation destinations, property maintenance and
preparation and arrangements for pets. Planning ahead of any perceived bushfire event is essential.

The warning systems now implemented by Emergency Services and Local Authorities provide timely information and advice
to occupants. Understanding what to do in the event of bushfire emergency is critical. Prior knowledge as to the steps to take
during the lead up to a fire event, during the passage of bushfire, and what to do immediately after the fire front has passed is
critical.

The Rural Fire Service Queensland (RFSQ) ‘Bushfire Survival Plan’ provides detailed information on how to prepare for the
bushfire season and how to take action to survive in the event of bushfire. A copy of this publication can be obtained from the
RFSQ website. (https://ruralfire.qld.gov.au/Fire_Safety_and_You/Bushfire_Survival_Plan/)


An emergency response plan, which will include a bushfire event will be developed for the complex.
