-Keep your pet inside at night, and do not take them to any celebrations that may have fireworks.

-Be mindful of wildlife that may be impacted and trying to escape the loud noises from fireworks.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy last day of 2024!

What are your plans to bring in 2025?

Did you know that fireworks can induce extreme stress and anxiety in dogs. In severe cases, this stress can lead to health issues such as heart problems or exacerbation of pre-existing conditions.

If you are aware that there will be fireworks near you, please remember to keep your pets inside secure and safe away from fireworks and loud noises.

Please consider the wildlife when celebrating today/tonight!

Residents in Halls Gap have been evacuated and others have been urged to consider their safety plan as multiple bushfires continue raging across western areas of regional Victoria, which are expected to spike again as temperatures rise over Christmas.

Bushfire conditions are expected to worsen in the coming days as temperatures soar across Victoria, after residents evacuate high danger areas.

A good resource for emergency planning is:Planning for Animals by the Australian Institute for Disaster Resilience. (Erica Honey was a member of the Working Group providing expert advice)
This handbook presents strategic guidance on planning for animals using a principles-based approach. It outlines recommended minimum practice for the inclusion and integration of animals at all stages of the emergency management cycle (prevention, preparedness, response and recovery). It is recognised that there will be context specific considerations and actions required for individual species of animal, organisations and jurisdictions.

VfCA Regional Lead Elise Anderson was thrilled to have an opportunity to meet this week with Dr. Helen Haines MP , federal MP for the electorate of Indi, in north east Victoria, and policy advisor Zoe Neumayer.

"It was great to have an opportunity to discuss the impact of large scale renewable energy projects on regional communities and landscapes, and benefit from Helen’s advice as to how VfCA can best play a role in the vital transition away from fossil fuels and towards renewable energy. Thanks for your time, Helen and Zoe"!

🐾Our changing climate is impacting the animals we love.

🥵A heatwave is expected to send temperatures soaring across the state today, as fire crews gear up for a challenging day of fire danger.

🥵A burst of heat across Australia has the potential to lead to dangerous conditions over the next 48 hours with potentially the earliest 40C summer days in Adelaide and Melbourne in almost two decades!

🥵Parts of Victoria may surpass 45C on today!

According to the Country Fire Authority, today will see extreme fire danger across ALL of eastern and central Victoria. Authorities have warned of a high fire danger and a total fire ban has been declared in large parts of the state.

🥵Temperatures are set to soar in South Australia over the coming days.

Please remember to take extra care of your pets, AND all wildlife!

🐾If you suspect your pet is suffering from heat stroke - contact your vet immediately!

📌Please ensure your pets and wildlife have:

🚿Fresh, cool water
🌳Shade
🏠Are kept in doors if possible

❌Please do NOT walk your pets during the day, and do NOT walk them on hot surfaces such as:

❌Roads
❌Concrete
❌Footpaths
❌Gravel

🐾This can be extremely damaging for their paw pads!

😎 🐾 Ensure your emergency plan is up to date, stay cool and hydrated, and make sure your pets and wildlife do the same!
