Summary
CFA pamphlet published in November 2008. It reflects community safety education and emergency response prior to Black Saturday. It recommends actions to be undertaken by the community during a time of fire, and includes emergency contact numbers on both regional and local levels as well as reflecting current and best practice in application of personal and community safety and survival during any period of wildfire.

Significance
The bushfires of February 2009 have changed forever the way in which we think of fire risk. This collection of public education material still available after Black Saturday shows how difficult it is for authorities to keep pace with creating appropriate, current and relevant publications. The inclusion of both flood and fire information for the same region also illustrates the challenges faced by local government and other authorities when dealing with increasing extremes of climate.
