Bushfire Safety refers to the measures and practices aimed at preventing, preparing for, responding to, and recovering from bushfires, which are uncontrolled fires that occur in natural vegetation, particularly in bushland or forested areas. These practices encompass a range of strategies, including but not limited to, creating defensible spaces around properties, maintaining and clearing vegetation, developing fire plans, conducting regular community education and awareness programs, and implementing emergency response protocols. Bushfire safety also involves understanding fire danger ratings and weather conditions, as well as knowing evacuation routes and safe zones.
