[Fire danger rating] Catastrophic [What you should do] Enact your bushfire survival plan — survival is now your first priority. Leave your property early in the day. It is not safe to stay and defend even the best-prepared property in catastrophic conditions. Listen to a battery-powered radio tuned to ABC local radio to keep updated with the situation throughout the day. [Fire behaviour and risks] 
Fire will threaten without warning. It will be very hard to see, hear and breathe. Fire may be uncontrollable and fast moving. Embers will start spot fires, often kilometres ahead of the main fire. Strongly likely that unprepared people will suffer serious or life-threatening injury. Property in the fire’s path is likely to be destroyed (even well-prepared homes). Wide-scale power, telephone and water supply failure likely. Do not expect a fire truck or firefighters to attend.
