        ACTIVATING YOUR BUSHFIRE SURVIVAL PLAN
        Once you have prepared your Bushfire Survival Plan and completed your preparations, it is absolutely essential that
        you regularly practise and review your plan. This will make sure you and your family are well organised in the event
        of a bushfire. If a bushfire threatens the health and safety of you, your family, home or property, you should follow
        these steps:




                                       Step 1 – Activate your Bushfire Survival Plan
                                       Someone must take charge and lead other family members
                                       through this emotional experience by carefully communicating the
                                       various tasks set out in the plan. Know who is going to leave early
                                       and who is going to stay.




                                       Step 2 – Put on your personal protective clothing
                                       Every member of the family must change into their personal
                                       protective clothing, including long pants, long-sleeve-shirt
                                       and closed-in shoes.




          Step 3A – Pack your vehicle and leave early                           Step3B – Implement your strategy to stay and defend
          If your plan is to leave early, pack all valuables                    If your plan is to stay ensure you have all the items
          in your vehicle (see Relocation Kit) and relocate                     in the Bushfire Survival Kit ready to go. This can be
                                                                         OR
          to your designated safer location. Give yourself                      a dangerous option and you should be physically
          enough time to get you and your family to safety.                     and mentally prepared.
          Don’t return home until it is safe to do so.




                                        Step 4 – Keep informed of bushfire activity
                                        Listen to the radio, television, internet, firefighters and/or police
                                        for information on the fire in your local area. Bushfire is dynamic
                                        and unpredictable so you need to be prepared for the unexpected.
                                        Warnings are not guaranteed so do whatever is necessary to ensure
                                        you remain safe.
