08.01.2022 What is your trigger to leave? Leaving early is the safest option to protect yourself and your family. Leaving early means leaving the area before a fire starts - not when you can see flames or smell smoke. Your trigger to leave is what prompts you to act. You should use the Fire Danger Rating to determine your trigger. On Severe, Extreme or Code Red days you should not be in a high fire risk area.... www.cfa.vic.gov.au/plan-prepare/your-bushfire-plan
