Don’t leave anything to chance.  Please do not travel to or through any high bushfire risk areas in regions classified as extreme, where a bushfire is occurring, or for which a specific bushfire warning has been issued.

Consider taking a Vehicle Bushfire Kit with you on your trip.  Maintain regular contact with your office and ensure that your mobile phone is fully charged and switched on at all times.
