This annual initiative is designed to help households prepare for the upcoming bushfire season. The Bushfire-Ready Challenge begins in October, and registrations are open now. The Challenge is delivered online over four weeks, and is an interactive way for families to be guided through these four key steps:

• Get to Know Their Bushfire Risk
• Create a Bushfire Plan
• Complete a Property Assessment
• Put Together an Emergency Kit

Please note: This is a separate initiative from the Tasmania Fire Service’s School Fire Education Program. While the School Fire Education Program focuses on fire safety within the home and is delivered directly to students, the Bushfire-Ready Challenge is a community-based program aimed at supporting whole households in preparing for bushfire risk.
