A preparedness guide for Australia's decision makers
If you're seeing this, you're one of Australia’s elected politicians or staff member, working to make Australia a more liveable, affordable place.
We're bushfire survivors and their families, and many of us have lost our homes to climate-fuelled bushfire.
We've done our preparing - we've cleaned the gutters, cleared our yards and bought the firefighting equipment. Now we’re asking if you have done your bit to protect our families from worsening disasters. This guide covers the parts we can't do ourselves.
Check your readiness below to see how how you can help Australia prepare.
