🔥 Severe bushfire weather is forecast this week across Victoria.
Extreme heat, dry vegetation and strong winds mean fires can start and spread very quickly. These are not conditions to wait and see.
🚨 Leaving early is always the safest option.
What to do now:
✔️ Check fire danger ratings and total fire bans on VicEmergency
✔️ Pack a go-bag (water, medication, chargers, important documents, pet supplies)
✔️ Decide where you will go and how you will get there
✔️ Move cars out early and keep phones charged
✔️ Leave early if conditions escalate. don’t wait for smoke, sirens or official warnings
Homes and belongings can be rebuilt, lives cannot.
This is exactly why you buy insurance: so you can prioritise safety and leave early without hesitation.
Please also check on neighbours, especially older or vulnerable residents.
Stay informed. Act early. Stay safe. 🔥
