People who live in a high fire risk area need to develop a practical bushfire survival plan and be prepared.
Living with Fire is a joint agency initiative, involving strategies for community development, communication, education and empowerment in relation to wildfire and planned burning in Victoria. Implementation activities incorporate a range of communication campaigns, educational programs, community development programs and engagement activities across the wildfire PPRR continuum.
As part of Living with Fire CFA currently delivers:
The four agencies partnered in Living with Fire are CFA, DSE, MFB and DHS The Living with Fire partnership is based on principles of cooperation and collaboration to ensure that resources are directed towards integrated service delivery to maximise community safety outcomes. Living with Fire is underpinned by evidenced based research as all partners contribute the specialist knowledge and skills of their organisation to the broader goals of a strong resilient and fire safe Victoria.
There are many opportunities for the four agencies to identify new projects and initiatives to complement the existing activities.
