Description

Lists approximately 3,000 tips to help you make an effective bushfire plan

By the author of the acclaimed The Complete Bushfire Safety Book, this third edition deals with people’s fears and concerns about wildfires in general, and the maze of official safety policies. Its straightforward style clears a path of understanding through the tangle of conflicting opinions and misconceptions. This book identifies the shortcomings and likely adverse repercussions of some of these policies, defines the actions necessary for people to stay safe during a bushfire – and their homes to remain intact – and sets out safe procedures.

Essential Bushfire Safety Tips looks at the scientific post-wildfire research into why people who stayed with their homes died during the 2009 Black Saturday fires. It shows that despite the widespread media reports that “nothing could be done to save homes on such a day”, many householders did, in fact, save their homes.

Included are chapters on township protection; shelters, refuges and bunkers; as well as information on choices of home bushfire safety strategies; protective house design, furnishings and gardens; protection of animals; and first aid.
