Educate Victorians on the complexities and risks of bush and grass fires to ensure they leave early on high-risk days.
Victorians believed staying and fighting was an effective strategy, and Fire Danger Ratings, multiple messaging and recommended actions were contradictory and confusing.
Messaging was simplified to three core actions - plan, prepare and leave early. We focused on the facts of fire to educate and change behaviour and developed The Reasons are Black & White campaign. Because when it comes to fire, there is no doubt what you should do.
