Included in your Emergency Information Booklet:
This booklet provides property managers and home owners alike the peace of mind that should an emergency situation arise, you have provided your guests with a thorough and comprehensive guide addressing, in detail, every requirement as identified by the NSW Government.
Identifying potential hazards specific to your property such as flood, bushfire, coastal erosion, inundation, heatwaves, earthquakes and other disasters.
Provide information on what the relevant emergency services, such as the RFS and SES, advise you do in specific emergency situations.
Direct guests to suitable information sources so they can be kept informed during a disaster.
Ensure your guests are suitably prepared should they need to evacuate.
When it comes to safety and saving lives, information is key. Upon confirming your order, your Emergency Information Booklet is individually compiled to take into account the specific location of the property and the likely hazards your guests may encounter. After an analysis of the location you will be provided a comprehensive booklet consisting of approximately 40 pages of invaluable information summarising the below:
LOCAL HAZARDS:
We will contact local council and emergency services on your behalf to identify the main hazards that are specific to your holiday home and the activities that holiday makers generally participate in within the immediate area.
Each hazard will receive a comprehensive summary of the safety advice provided by the appropriate professional body, including but not limited, to the SES, RFS, BOM etc.
Approximately 10 hazards are identified for most homes
EMERGENCY SERVICES:
A comprehensive list of local and state emergency services will be provided for quick easy reference in an emergency.
The list will identify the appropriate services your guest should contact in a wide variety of emergency situations as well as where to source additional information, such as flood updates and bushfire warnings from the relevant professional bodies.
Approx. 10 emergency services are identified for most homes.
EMERGENCY APPS:
Emergency smart-phone apps can help save lives.
In the event of an emergency your guests will find a list of popular emergency apps that help to keep them updated with local emergency situations as they unfold, such as floods, storms, fires and tsunami.
These apps can also provide invaluable advice on what your guest should do and when, such as when to stay where they are or when to evacuate.
Approx. 10 emergency apps are provided for most homes.
SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
All STRA owners are required to meet minimum fire safety regulations.
As part of this legislation you will need to provide certain safety equipment, such as fire extinguishers and fire blankets for specific building types and you may prefer to provide these regardless as an additional safety measure.
Your customised Emergency Information Booklet will identify precisely where the equipment is located within your property for quick easy access in the event of an emergency.
EVACUATION KIT:
The SES and RFS recommend to all households to have on the ready an emergency evacuation kit - why not have one for your guests, on hand and ready in the event of a natural disaster.
We will provide you with a comprehensive list of equipment that the SES and RFS have advised you provide so you can compile the kit yourself.
Alternatively, should you not provide the kit then the comprehensive list will be included in the Emergency Information Booklet meaning your guest will have the opportunity to gather essential items from around the home should they need to evacuate.
QUICK REFERENCE:
In an emergency every second counts.
It is vital that your guests are able to access the appropriate emergency services and information sources we have provided as quickly as possible.
To aid with this we will compile the most important contacts numbers and website links onto a fridge magnet for easy reference.
