Juliet, her husband, and their three young daughters lived in the Adelaide Hills when bushfire struck just five days before Christmas in 2019.

At 9am, the power went out. A text from the CFS arrived: bushfire was in the area - act now and leave.

Juliet’s family did the right thing and left quickly, but without a plan they had no clear idea of what to take. In the panic, they left behind precious things including their 5-year-old’s comfort toy and Juliet’s wallet.

The next day, their neighbour told them the devastating news: their home was gone.

Now, Juliet’s family always has a bushfire plan. They keep a box of special items ready to take, and a clear plan for what to do if they need to leave again.

⚠️ Juliet’s story is a reminder: bushfires can happen suddenly, and stress can make it hard to think clearly. Having a written plan makes all the difference.
