FireAware Network – neighbourhood clusters

specific details for information sharing

Neighbourhood Clusters are discreet neighbourhood groupings where close by neighbours can get together informally or formally to discuss bushfire awareness information that is directly relevant to them. Prior to the start of the bushfire season all households within a cluster will receive information to help them prepare for the season.

Would you be interested in helping to grow the Network by starting up a Cluster in your neighbourhood? All assistance much appreciated!

The initial step is to decide on the number of households for your cluster. Generally this would be a logical grouping either by a street or 2; a block of houses; a subdivision. It can be as small as 6-8 households or as big as you wish. Having a buddy to share the letterboxing is also handy. An extra bonus is that we do not have meetings.

The flyers for letterboxing are prepared by the Network Coordinator – Hazen (that’s me). They will be photocopied and delivered to you to distribute. The flyers will also contain bushfire related information (provided by CFA) and information on the bushfire risk to the neighbourhood and fundamentals for preparing their property and household both physically and mentally.

Your input can be as much as your time and resources allow. We work on flexibility and cooperation being the best way to work together to deliver the Network outcomes.

Contact: Hazen or ring 0408 690 493 for more information (obligation free!)
