Take action now to protect your life and property – fires will spread quickly and be extremely dangerous.

☀️ KEEPING MOB SAFE IN THE HEAT ☀️

We hope everyone stays cool in this heat this week. It is a real scorcher across Victoria, and we want to make sure everyone is staying safe and looking after one another.

How to stay cool:

✅ Find the shade: Use the aircon or fans. If yours isn't working, head down to the shops or the library to soak up their cool air.

💧 Drink up: Keep the water bottle handy and keep sipping all day, even if you don’t feel thirsty yet.

🚗 Never leave kids or pets in the car: It only takes a minute for a car to become like an oven. Not worth the risk!

Keep an eye on the BOM and Emergency Victoria for updates. Stay deadly, stay hydrated, and look out for your neighbors! 💧🙏

The Mallee is copping a 5-day heatwave with tops of 48°C. With those high overnight temps, the heat won’t be letting up much. Plan ahead, stay out of the sun where you can, and look after each other.
