Fire Season is Around the Corner - Are You Ready?
It’s a great time to plan for the coming hot weather conditions whilst still enjoying the cooler Spring weather. It takes a whole-community approach, to get a whole-community prepared.
Lesmurdie Street Meet:
The City of Kalamunda is uniquely placed in the Darling Ranges, with the region being renowned for its beautiful Jarrah and Marri forests, walking trails and native flora and fauna. The natural beauty of the region however, significantly increases the area’s risk to bushfire. Bushfires have the capacity to strike without warning and provided with the right environmental conditions, can quickly exceed firefighting resources, devastating community, properties, and infrastructure, while posing great risk to the loss of human life.
It is for this reason, that it is imperative that both the wider community and individual households are supported in engaged in bushfire preparedness, awareness and survival planning. If you’ve not yet joined your local Bushfire Ready Group, we encourage you to do so! Bushfire Ready is a local community action program aimed at encouraging local residents to work together in preparing and protecting their families and properties against bushfires.
We invite you to join us at the Lesmurdie Street Meet 🔥 this weekend with the Bush Fire Ready Group.
