This season's bushfires in New South Wales have already claimed homes and vehicles.

Make sure you are prepared, and have evacuation and survival plans in place.


Current incidents are here - Fires Near Me - NSW Rural Fire Service and on Facebook and Twitter


Emergency Alert (EA) may be used if your area is threatened by bushfires - this is not just for NSW and not just for bushfires, so be familiar with it:

Emergency Alert is the national telephone warning system used by emergency management agencies. The system sends voice messages to landlines and text messages to mobile phones within a defined area, about likely or actual emergencies such as fire, flood, or extreme weather events.
You don't have to register for the service, nor can you opt out of it.
