Type of furnishings and floor coverings is just one of the little known aspects of a bushfire safety plan that can make a big difference in keeping homes intact during a bushfire.

A threefold choice of action

The choice of action on a day of bushfire is not just to ‘defend or leave’. It is a threefold choice ‘defend, leave, or shelter’. 

Stayers, goers and shelterers need equally to be prepared, planned, and practiced  - with a plan that includes knowing how to defend safely, how to leave safely, and  how to shelter safely if it’s too late to leave.

And what is more:  if you leave, how to prepare your house so it can survive and be there for you to come home to.

Essential Bushfire Safety Tips takes you step by step through everything anyone needs to know about staying safe from a bushfire.
