Council involvement in fire ready communications

The Municipal Association of Victoria (MAV) has been coordinating council participation across the State in the Fire Ready Roadshow, which began its 10-week tour of Victoria on Saturday 4th December. By mid February, the Roadshow will have visited 40 locations involving 28 councils, encouraging residents, holiday-makers and day visitors to have a Bushfire Survival Plan.
An initiative of the Victorian Department of Justice, the Roadshow involves representatives from various state government departments, councils, CFA and Victoria Police. It features an interactive Fire Ready branded truck and provides a valuable opportunity for councils to promote their local fire preparedness messages to residents and visitors.
The MAV has also coordinated the participation of 17 councils in the mail-out of Fire Ready kits to residents of the 52 most at risk townships and/or the Fire Ready mail-out to 37,000 absentee property-owners.
