(3) The ACT Fire authorities have a policy not to provide names of individual companies or fire protection systems, as this could be perceived as a recommendation of that system over another. However the Community Safety area of the Emergency Management Group aims to educate the Community generally on appropriate fire prevention measures which they
might take. If the community requests information on any system available, •
the Community Safety area can provide a means of contact with distributors
of such systems.
(4) As stated in the previous part of the question, the Community Safety area
has and will continue to provide information which will enable the community
to have increased safety from fires. -
(5) The ACT fire authorities, in conjunction with the Australian Fire Authorities Council, have developed a pamphlet outlining the precautions to be taken by householders to protect themselves, their family and their houses from bushfire. This pamphlet, called "Will You Survive" was widely distributed to high risk areas within the ACT following the recent NSW and ACT bushfires. Copies are available from the Community Safety area of the Emergency Management Group.
