New Fire Danger Rating signs have been installed in Dwellingup, North Dandalup and Coolup, providing residents and visitors with timely access to critical bushfire and emergency information.
The new signs will display the daily Fire Danger Rating for the district, along with important messages relating to fire restrictions, Total Fire Bans, Harvest and Vehicle Movement Bans, weather warnings and emergency preparedness information.
A key feature of the new signs is their remote management capability, which allows Shire staff to update messaging in real time. This means information can be tailored to local conditions and changed quickly as circumstances evolve, helping residents and visitors stay informed and prepared.
Shire of Murray President Douglas McLarty said the signs have been strategically located to ensure communities in key areas of the Shire have easy access to up-to-date emergency information, particularly during the bushfire season.
"Community safety remains a priority for the Shire of Murray, and these new signs will play an important role in keeping residents and visitors informed about changing fire conditions and emergency management information," said Mr McLarty.
Alcoa Pinjarra Refinery Operations Manager Jodie Giraudo said community safety is everyone’s responsibility, and these signs help ensure people have the information they need to act early.
"Having clear, visible and up-to-date fire danger information in key locations helps people make informed decisions early, which can make a real difference in protecting lives and property during bushfire season," said Ms. Giraudo.
The Fire Danger Rating signs form part of the Shire's broader commitment to emergency preparedness, bushfire awareness and community resilience.
Residents are encouraged to regularly monitor the signs, stay informed about local conditions and ensure they have a bushfire plan in place during the fire season.
