🔥 Catastrophic Fire Danger Rating today - Please be prepared 🔥

Today’s conditions mean the risk of bushfire is extremely high. If you live in a bushfire risk area, leaving early is always the safest option. Understand your triggers for leaving and don’t wait until it’s too late.

If you can’t leave, it’s important to understand your options. We’d like to remind the community that Bushfire Places of Last Resort (BPLR) and Emergency Relief Centres (ERC) are very different.

Bushfire Places of Last Resort (BPLR) should only be used as a last resort if your plan fails, not a relocation point when leaving early. Bushfire Places of Last Resort are selected and audited in conjunction with the CFA and their rules and regulations, not all open spaces can be considered Bushfire Places of Last Resort.

BPLRs are designated open spaces that intend to reduce radiant heat exposure, but people may still be exposed to smoke, heat and embers. There are also no staff or emergency services at these locations.

🔗 Full list of BPLR locations: https://go.bendigo.vic.gov.au/BPLR

Emergency Relief Centres will only open in our region as directed and locations will be communicated at the time. If activated, these locations will have resources and staff to assist the community.

You can stay informed with updates from trusted resources like VicEmergency, CFA and SES through the City’s Emergency Dashboard, which includes:

• Real-time warnings and weather updates
• Road closures and community alerts
• Emergency Relief Centres (when activated)
• Bushfire Places of Last Resort
• Easy links to preparedness and recovery resources
• Mobile-friendly design for quick access on your phone

Most importantly: stay safe, keep cool, and remember - leaving early is always the safest option.

🌟 Out and About in the Community 🧡💜

What you see us share online is only a small part of what we do. Every day, our dedicated staff are out in the community supporting participants in meaningful ways. While we’re grateful when we’re able to capture moments of these experiences, we also deeply respect that not everyone wishes to have their photo taken - consent is something we take very seriously.

So much of the incredible work happening in the community goes unseen and unshared. These small glimpses, when we do get them, are powerful reminders of just how vital and impactful this industry truly is.

At SASS, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to connect, participate, and thrive in their community. 🧡💜

We hope everyone is finding ways to keep cool today ☀️

The farm was full of fun - homemade slime and oobleck everywhere, happy animals with full bellies, and sprinklers and water guns keeping everyone cool and smiling. 🧡💜

We have a very hot week ahead of us 🥵

Please be prepared for the heatwave that is predicted to hit Bendigo and surrounds over the coming days.

Fun at the Lake! 💜🧡
The School Holiday Program spent the morning at Lake Weeroona, enjoying time on the playground and having lots of fun.

As the weather is expected to keep getting hotter throughout the week, carers please keep an eye out for any SMS messages advising of early finishes. We want everyone to stay safe during this heat wave. ☀️

The Summer Holiday Program is off to a bright start, with a variety of activities for everyone to enjoy! 💜🧡

Tomorrow, the kids will be heading out to Lake Weeroona for morning tea. Don’t forget to Slip, Slop, Slap ☀️

The holiday season affects everyone differently. Using tools like this to communicate how you’re feeling - and checking in with those around you- can help open up meaningful conversations. Taking time to reflect on our emotions and support one another matters more than we realise.

When was the last time you stopped and thought how am I going?

The holiday season can make us feel lots of different emotions. This chart can help you take a minute to reflect on how you’re feeling. It also includes useful strategies for how to cope if you’re struggling.

Save the chart through the link below, print it out and stick it to the fridge as a handy reminder, or share it with friends and family. https://bit.ly/4qnudIY
