[Fire danger rating] Severe [What you should do] Enact your bushfire survival plan—survival is now your first priority. If you are leaving your property, do so early in the day. If your bushfire survival plan permits the decision to stay and defend your home, only do so if it is prepared to the highest level and constructed to withstand bushfire, and you are physically able to do so. Listen to a battery-powered radio tuned to ABC local radio to keep updated with the situation throughout the day. [Fire behaviour and risks] 
Fires will burn unpredictably and may be difficult to control. Embers will be blown around. It will be dangerous and uncomfortable to be outside. There is potential for property in the fire’s path or homes under ember attack to be lost. People may suffer serious or life-threatening injury. Only very well-prepared homes that are solidly constructed will be likely to offer any safety. Expect localised power, telephone and water supply failure. Do not expect a fire truck or firefighters to attend.
