We’re continuing to work closely with Agriculture Victoria as multiple emergency level, major bushfires remain out of control across the Victoria this afternoon. In many cases it remains too dangerous with active bushfires to do impact assessments, but rest assured we are working to get support to farmers and those impacted.
Wherever you are across the State, please regularly monitor official sources for updates via the VicEmergency website and also tune into your official ABC emergency broadcaster. As the situation is constantly changing, it’s critical you use these sources as your official information.
- If your property has been impacted and you have urgent animal welfare needs, please call the VicEmergency Hotline on 1800 226 226.
- Emergency Relief Payments are now available for eligible people impacted by bushfires, more information is available here.
It’s important to note that tomorrow has also been declared a day of Total Fire Ban across the entire State.
Look after each other out there and join us in extending a huge thank you to our emergency services as they work to keep our state safe.
