Get your property ready
A kit gets you through it. A prepared property gives your home its best chance. Pick a hazard, then open each step and tick things off as you go.
Bushfire
Most homes lost in bushfires are set alight by embers, often before the fire front arrives. A cleared, well-kept property gives embers less to catch on and gives firefighters a safer place to work.

Flood
Floodwater rises fast and is stronger than it looks. Many flood deaths happen when people drive into floodwater, so the most important plan is knowing how you will get to higher ground.

Cyclone
Cyclone season runs November to April. Wind turns loose objects into missiles and storm surge can flood coastal streets, so the work needs to be done before a watch is issued, not after.

Extreme heat
Heatwaves have killed more Australians than any other natural hazard. Older people, babies and anyone with a health condition are most at risk, especially if the power goes out.
