This plan covers preparation through to recovery, with specific considerations for participants who may be more vulnerable during evacuations.

Includes activation triggers, pre-season preparation checklist, daily checks on high fire-risk days, evacuation decision framework (leave early), evacuation procedure, the 'go bag' contents, and post-fire debrief.
