Fire Awareness Survey

The following survey has been put together to gather an understanding of our community’s ideas and concerns regarding fire preparedness in and around Apollo Bay. The information you supply will be used to develop a Community Response Plan, based on local issues. This plan will work to ensure we are better prepared in the case of a bush-fire in our area.
 
The Fire Ready Apollo Bay Project was developed in late 2019 and is a partnership between Apollo Bay CFA, Marrar Woorn Neighbourhood House and Great Ocean Road Health and has been funded by the Lord Mayor’s Charitable Foundation. Some of these questions have been included by RMIT as they will use our results anonymously as part of a wider study into community resilience.

 By completing this survey, and a follow-up one later in the year, you will be in the running to win a fire ready pack valued at over $200 that includes a rechargeable multi-band radio with torch and hand crank in case of emergency, a 15,000mAh power bank to charge your devices when the power is out and a level 3 soft first aid kit.
