Fire Danger RatingsBush Fire in Warringah - Prepare. Act. Survive.

Following extensive consultation between the NSW Rural Fire Service and other NSW and interstate fire agencies, new Fire Danger Ratings and new Bush Fire Alert Levels have been nationally agreed upon.

The new system includes the Fire Danger Ratings - Low-Moderate, High, Very High, Severe, Extreme and Catastrophic. Three alert levels based on these ratings - Advice, Watch and Act, and Emergency Warning - reflect an escalating scale related to the threat of bush fire.

For more information on the 'Prepare. Act. Survive' campaign, including the new ratings and alerts system, and to download a copy of the Bush Fire Survival Plan click on the link below.

Copies of the Bush Fire Survival Plan are also available at Warringah Council libraries and at the Tramshed Arts and Community Centre.
