What does your
emergency plan
look like?
Now is the time to get prepared for an emergency
and make sure your emergency plan is up to date.
It’s important to share and rehearse your emergency plan with
everyone involved.
The Red Cross Rediplan is a free template that is available online and
can be stored and shared electronically with your family, friends and
neighbours.
It doesn’t matter if you rent or own your property, it’s important to
know your risks, be prepared and have an emergency plan in place.
Remember, leaving early is always the safest option.
When creating your plan, think about when and where you would
go and make sure your emergency kit has enough essential items
to last you at least 72 hours.
Think about where you might be in an emergency — you could be at
work or out of the area when an emergency occurs, so be prepared.

Is there a working smoke alarm
in your bedroom?
CFA and MFB recommend that
smoke alarms be installed in all
bedrooms and living areas.
Smoke alarms should be powered
by a long-life battery, installed on

that when any alarm activates,
