The devastating bushfires across Australia have touched us all, we're thinking of all those affected and the tireless work of firefighters and Emergency Services.
Making sure you are safe:
1. Air quality: Due to smoke blowing in from the Victorian bushfires, air quality across Bayside can be very poor at times. Keep up-to-date with local advice and air quality ratings with the EPA Airwatch.
2. Rainwater tanks for drinking water: If you use rainwater tanks and can taste smoke, the taint alone is unlikely to be a health concern. However, if you are concerned about the taste of your rainwater, use bottled water for drinking and continue to use your rainwater for other uses. Head HERE
