        A Guide to Develop a Bushfire Evacuation Plan



STEP 11: SITE LAYOUT
A site layout is a diagram of the site that shows locations of different areas and
equipment. A copy of the site layout should be placed in each building so they are
readily accessible by occupants.

Site layouts need to show a number of different features of the premises. The
number of these features will depend upon the size and complexity of the premises.
The following are a list of those features that should be included in the Bushfire
Evacuation Plan;

            escape route,                               Static water supplies
            exit locations of buildings                 Pumps & hoses
            Designated Assembly Points                  Sprinkler systems
            fire extinguishers                          Hazardous materials
            fire hydrants                               First Aid equipment



The plan should be an A3 size, laminated or framed, and posted in conspicuous
locations throughout the building/s. An example is in Appendix 7.

This is a separate plan to that for ‘Designated Assembly Points’, as detailed on page
16, which is placed within each building at a conspicuous location.



HAVE THE PLANS IN CLEAR VIEW SO PEOPLE CAN SEE
 WHERE TO GO & FIRE FIGHTERS WILL KNOW WHERE
                 EVERYTHING IS
