Firey Women - Yorketown

The award winning Firey Women workshops provide women with a safe non-threatening environment to learn new skills to help protect their families and livelihoods.  The workshops cover both information and practical sessions over two days.

This is a two day workshop, so attendance is required on both days to achieve full workshop benefit.  

Workshop topics include:

• Preparing yourself emotionally
• Understanding Fire Danger Ratings and warnings
• Discussing the differences between a "leave early" and a "stay and defend" plan
• Preparing a Bushfire Survival Plan
• Identifying hazards around the home
• Operating pumps and firefighting equipment
• Understanding bushfire behaviour

Workshop sessions:

Firey Women can be run as a two day workshop, or over four evenings, depending on the needs of the community and are offered between May and September each year.
