As part of your Bushfire Survival Plan, put together a bushfire relocation kit that contains:

  • Overnight bag with change of clothes and toiletries
  • Medicines and first aid kit
  • Important information, such as passport, will, photos, jewellery
  • Mobile phone and charger
  • Adequate amount of water
  • Wool blankets
  • Contact information for your doctor, council and power company

Store your kit in an easy-to-access location.


Before the fire season

Practise how to pack the car
Make sure it is quick and easy to pack everything fits. Remember to leave space for your pets

Keep important items and information in a safe place
Consider moving your irreplaceable family keepsakes and valuables out of the area during summer. Scan important information and photos and store them on a CD or memory stick.
