Know your local hazards

Know your risks!

Understanding the specific risks that may affect your local area is important.

Do you know your bushfire risk or whether your area may flood?

Talk to neighbours and friends about ways to protect your home, which roads are impacted, alternative routes and plan to be self-sufficient for at least three to five days

Ensure that your insurance is current and sufficient to protect your home, contents and business.

Know where to find information and warnings.

Think about your situation and how you would cope without power, access to services and the internet for up to three to five days.

Ensure you have safety switches installed and test them regularly.

If anyone in your house relies on electrical equipment for medical reasons, have a plan if your power is cut – don’t assume it will be restored quickly.

No two disaster events are alike. Be prepared.
