Pull this Bushfire Survival Plan lift-out from this document and keep in a safe place.

Leaving early will always be the safest option for you and your family. It is extremely important for you to prepare
a detailed leave early plan to ensure everyone understands what to do and when. Use the boxes below to list
tasks to do.


       When to go – Think of different triggers that will cause you and your family to leave early.
       Think about what you will do if you have sent the children to school that day. Think about
       whether or not you will have to travel from work into the fire zone.




       Where to go – Identify one or more safer locations.
       Consider putting on personal protective clothing before you leave home.




       How to get there – What roads will you take to your destination?
       Have an alternative route if your first choice is impassable.




       What to take – Make a list of your most valuable items (e.g. insurance papers, electronic
       records, photo albums, passports, birth certificates and other important documents).
