Every Monday for the month of August 2023 we advertised the Bushfire Preparedness Month campaign on our Instagram. See tips and information on how you can be Bushfire Ready!
​
Questions to consider:
1. Do you have a household Bushfire Plan?
2. Are you prepared for this fire season?
3. Have you planned your Firebreaks? Due 18th October 2023
​
Be Bushfire Ready is a message supported by the Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES) and the Shire of Dumbleyung to increase the resilience to bushfire risk in our community because, during a bushfire, firetrucks may not be available to protect every home. This means residents and homeowners need to be responsible for their own safety.
