About Ember
Built for people with disability, to make bushfire season less frightening
Ember is a program from the Flagstaff Group that helps people living with disability get ready for bushfires and other natural disasters — with simple language and formats designed around the two things that matter most: having a plan, and leaving early.
Flagstaff's EMBER program teaches individuals living with disability to prepare for bushfires and other natural disasters. Using simple language, formats and resources, the program aims to support people with disability to gain confidence in what to do when there is an emergency — and to make sure they can do these two things:
Have an easy plan ready
A plan to guide you on what to do in case there is a natural emergency — worked out and written down before you need it. See the Plan page to build yours.
Take action and leave early
If there is a bushfire, flood or other emergency, take action and leave early — rather than waiting to see how bad it gets. See the Action page for what that looks like step by step.
