Much of the Strathbogie Tableland has been assessed as having an EXTREME bushfire risk in accordance with the Victorian Fire Risk Register.
The following headings are links to valuable localised information which is applicable to us on the Tableland:
STRATHBOGIE TABLELANDS BUSHFIRE INFORMATION
The above document is our Bushfire Emergency Resource Booklet which is focused on information (and external resources) useful for local residents.
Strathbogie Tableland Bushfire Information Summary
The above document is our Bushfire Emergency Resource Summary which is focused on information from external resources useful for local residents.
My Personal Fire Plan
The above document produced by STAG a few years ago, is “My Personal Fire Plan”. This document provides a guide to preparing for a fire, what to do in the event of a fire and lists relevant emergency contact details. My Personal Fire Plan is updated annually; it can be downloaded from this website and is usually available in hard copy at the general store and at any CFA Information Session held in the Strathbogie Memorial Hall prior to each fire season.
Given its rating as “an EXTREME risk” in the event of bushfire, it is essential that all residents (whether permanent or part-time) have a written fire plan regardless of whether they plan to leave or stay and defend.
