    •    Do not go outside while the fire front is passing (wait until it passes);

    •    Avoid heavy smoke and don't drive in smoke; and

    •    Do not run into unburnt area as burnt areas are safer.

3.2 Evacuation

The decision to evacuate or stay in the event of a major bushfire is one that should be considered well
before a bushfire event. Early evacuation is a serious consideration where:

    •    You are not confident that your building is prepared to withstand a bushfire;

    •    You are worried about your children or elderly members;

    •    You suspect that you or members of the household will be unable to cope with the stress of
         staying;

    •    It is safe to leave and you have a clear idea of where a safe refuge is to be found; and

    •    You know the destination to be safe.

Note: you must evacuate if directed to do so by the Police. Police undertake evacuations with the advice
of fire authorities.
