BUSHFIRE SURVIVAL CHECKLIST FOR GUESTS Ridgesong is located in a bush area and there is a chance that bushfire may occur. We have trained and prepared to survive in the event of a fire, and this checklist will help you to also prepare and survive. It is important that you follow these instructions. In the event of a fire: • Remain calm and focused. • Please follow Simon and Naomi’s instructions. • Quickly get dressed in long sleeved and long legged non flammable clothing and put on sturdy shoes and a broad hat if you have them (jeans, long sleeved cotton/wool etc). Also keep sun glasses handy for eye protection. • Remove all flammable liquids from your person e.g. cigarette lighters. • In the event of imminent danger we will make a decision according to our Survival Plan whether to immediately evacuate, or shelter and defend. If we evacuate, we will head either towards Mangrove Mountain, or towards Wollombi. In case of the latter, we will be heading to Laguna Oval, which is a designated place of last resort for the community. Bring only your wallets, phones, drinking water, medical drugs and other supplies as Naomi/Simon specify. • We will drive in convoy, and at a safe speed. Drive with your headlights on. Be prepared for lowered visibility and animals on the road. • In the event of obstruction across the road: we will have a chainsaw with us and if safe to do so we will stop to clear the obstruction before continuing. • Once at a safe location we will follow the instructions of the emergency services personnel.
