This includes old woolen blankets, torches, cotton clothing and boots, drinking water for all, a fully charged mobile phone battery, and a few basics. People often leave a property in an emergency and get caught in the fire itself. Monitor the conditions every morning and if very windy, consider evacuating to a safer spot for that day or longer. In Victoria, we used to have a policy of 'Stay and defend'. Since Black Saturday, this has been changed to 'Leave Early.' I live in the bush and find the need to evacuate at least 5 times a year. It's worth putting this option in your plan.

Yes I agree with everything you say. Thanks for writing and sharing your experience.

Just to clarify for readers, there was another list on the website I referred to which talks about what to do when there is a fire close. The little list above is about what to do before fire season hits.

Such a beautiful part of the world, hope the fire is soon under control.
