Residents in high bushfire risk areas need to be self reliant to
ensure their safety from bushfire.
 CFA,
DSE, and MFB have implemented Fire
Ready Victoria: a strategy to increase awareness of bushfire
risk, and preparedness of the Victorian Community for bushfires. Look
for a meeting in your area...
As part of the strategy, each summer CFA run education programs to inform residents
of the need to be prepared and how to get started. These are delivered,
free of charge, in high bushfire risk areas. The programs are local
community and street corner meetings and Community
Fireguard.
Community Meetings
These meetings are held
in community halls or on street corners and leading up to summer
a
calendar
of activities showing where meetings will be held is advertised
through flyers, local newspapers,
sign boards, and on this website. Look
for
a meeting in your area...
Community Fireguard
Local communities can also establish a Community Fireguard
group and to get started a meeting is generally held in a resident’s
home with neighbours invited to attend. Tell me

bushfire safety programs, contact the Community Education Co-ordinator
