Victoria is once again facing extreme fire conditions. Yesterday many of us received warnings from the Victorian police via SMS regarding the conditions that faced us. Today government buses have stopped operating due to these conditions and have left school students in rural areas at home instead of at school. Last week schools in Dunkeld and Cavendish were closed because of extreme fire conditions. These extreme conditions are especially dangerous because of the lack or rain in south west Victoria.
Obviously schools need to consider creating bush fire plans in order to keep students at school. Community action plans also need to be created and practiced in order to prevent devastating loss as seen on the black Saturday bush fires.
How you can help
You can help our community by volunteering with the State Emergency Services or the CFA. Not only is this a rewarding experience but it also lets you get involved with the community and meet new people.
