Anyone who is not going to leave early must be involved in completing this stay and defend plan to ensure they
know what to do. Every stay plan will be different depending on your circumstances. Use the boxes below to list
tasks to do.

     Before the fire approaches – Start getting yourself and your property ready for a bushfire.




     As the fire approaches – Prepare for ember attack on or near your home.
     Remember to put on personal protective clothing.




     As the fire front arrives – Stay safe by monitoring the fire from inside your home.




     After the fire has passed – Patrol your property and extinguish any spot fires or burning embers.
     You may need to keep this up for several hours.

Have a contingency plan – what will you do if you can’t activate your Bushfire Survival Plan? Remember that leaving
late can lead to loss of lives.
