Prior to the bushfire, ensure the house and property immediately around it is cleared of any vegetation. Eaves and gutters should be clear and free of leaves and debris, and there should be no flammable materials nearby.

Once a bushfire is approaching, you should:

1. Close all windows and doors and all other openings.

2. Try to make a reinforced shelter that is anti-fire in case the house burns down.

3. Have all necessary emergency contact numbers nearby (ambulance, firefighter etc) and call them as soon as possible

4. Do what you must to stay safe - all the other properties can be replaced, but lives cannot.

5. It can be helpful to spray down the walls and roof of the house with a hose. However, in a firestorm, this is quite useless.
