The Fire and Emergency Services Authority, in partnership with local governments, conduct more focused pre-season bushfire education, which emphasises:
- Water supply is not guaranteed during a bushfire
- Power supply is not guaranteed during a bushfire
- Saving life will be a priority over saving property so expect to be evacuated
- Once evacuated, access to affected areas may not be possible for several days
- Water „bombing‟ by aircraft cannot be guaranteed in bushfire
- SMS warnings are advice only and may not be timely.
