Join us as we show you how to prepare your home and family for the season ahead. It might save your life, your family (including pets) or your home. We will join experts from the Rural Fire Service (RFS) and other emergency services as we answer key questions including: What are the hazards in your particular area? What will you do in a bushfire emergency?
We will also introduce our new 3D interactive, simulation platform, the Simtable™, looking at how bushfires may behave within Noosa. These are workshops you cannot afford to miss this summer.
At the end of the workshop you will:
- See how fast bushfires can move in your area
- Know your bushfire risk and exposure to other hazards
- Understand how to prepare your family and home
- Develop the right information for your emergency plan
- Be able to assess the strengths and weaknesses of your home and property to extreme weather events
Feedback from workshop participants.
I found the presentation to be well planned and most informative. It gave me an insight as to where further data on Bush Fire Protection information can be found... The entire 90 minute presentation showed the need for us all to prepare ourselves for the coming summer period. Highly recommended. Fantastic modelling of how a bushfire progresses and lovely to meet some of the people who look after our area when a bushfire threatens. The new simulation technology was excellent. We found this an excellent / informative evening – the RFS volunteer who reviewed our plan with us was very helpful in assisting us consider specific needs for our house / land such as pump for the pool / stickers to apply to the property perimeter to alert the Fire Service to the fact there was a SWS [static water supply] ...
Workshops are attended by the local Rural Fire Service, State Emergency Service, and Police, as well as other agencies as required, to provide professional advice and assistance to residents.
These workshops are essential for almost everyone living in Noosa, even if you do not live next to the bush. 85% of homes burn down due to ember attack.
