The Tasmania Fire Service collaborates with local communities at high risk of bushfires to create Community Bushfire Protection Plans. These plans provide specific, localised information to assist with bushfire preparation and survival. The focus is on bushfire safety options, including Nearby Safer Places (places of last resort), Evacuation Routes, and Emergency Information.
The Community Bushfire Protection Plan for your area can help you develop your own Bushfire Plan. For guidance on creating your plan, visit the Tasmanian Fire Service website or refer to our Preparing for an Emergency Event page.
- In life threatening emergencies always call triple zero (000).
- For current bushfire incidents and warnings, visit TasALERT.
- To check the fire danger rating in your area, visit the Fire Danger Rating Forecast.
- For information on total fire bans, fire permits, and burn registrations, visit Fire Bans, Permits, and Registrations.
