The Progress Association has been informed that our evacuation centre is the Bomaderry Bowling Club. This is considered a long way away and means you maybe travelling through a fire zone or have falling trees to deal with so the beach is more likely to be a safer place. Please be aware to keep away from areas of the beach that falls victim to ember attacks. Keep a close eye inland and if necessary head into the water but move along the beach away from any bush that may be on fire.

All advice given on this website is considered general advice. You must consider for yourself what advice is right for you. Whenever possible use the links above and go to the actual sources for the most up to date information.
