Step 1
This plan is for:

Step 5
Could any well-prepared houses or buildings in my area be a safer place to shelter if I'm caught in a fire? Where are they?
Is there a designated Neighbourhood Safer Place in my area that could be used as a last resort? Do I know the best route there? What is the address including Melways/VicRoads Reference?
If there are several consecutive days of Severe, Extreme or Code Red, how will this affect my plan?
