Being bushfire prepared is not just a win for your farm, but your neighbors and the community too!
Bushfire is a major threat to rural livestock production and over the coming years in Australia, fire intensity, frequency and size are all predicted to increase. Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) research has found that compared with producers who are unprepared, those who have a farm fire plan and appropriate equipment and training lose fewer livestock or suffer less infrastructure damage and can get back to business sooner after a fire.
Here you can find resources to help you prepare for bushfire season, learn what to do during a fire and resources to assist with bushfire recovery.
