Welcome to NSW Bushfire Awareness
Raising awareness about the impact and prevention of bushfires in New South Wales.
Bushfires are a natural part of the Australian landscape, but in recent years, their intensity and frequency have increased dramatically. Sydney, surrounded by dense bushland, is particularly vulnerable to these growing threats. The impact of bushfires extends beyond immediate danger to lives and properties; it affects the environment, wildlife, and the health and well-being of communities.
