EMERGENCY PLANNING AND ARRANGEMENTS
DURING THE UPCOMING BUSHFIRE SEASON
Bournda EEC is in a bushfire prone area and is identified as Category 1 on the NSW Department of Education’s bushfire risk register.
Any user of our facilities, should be aware of and implement appropriate emergency preparation and response planning in accordance with the requirements of the Work Health and Safety Act 2011.
In addition, schools may be made non-operational due to changing higher risk conditions and advice from Emergency Services and the State Emergency Operations Centre.
It is important that you undertake appropriate planning and monitor bushfire conditions during the bushfire season and be ready to act when required. If there is bushfire activity in the vicinity of Bournda EEC while you are there, you should contact the school during school hours or if after hours, ring Triple Zero (000) and seek advice.
