Bushfires: Advice & resources
Many people are being affected by the extreme weather and fire conditions that we are currently experiencing.
ACT Health has a variety of resources and health advice available such as:
- Frequently asked questions about current air quality, smoke and heat conditions,
- advice on P2/N95 masks, including the Commonwealth supply of masks in the ACT, and
- looking after your mental health and wellbeing.
Access the ACT Government Health website to locate this advice and other tips on how to stay safe in heavy smoke and hot conditions.
People & Diversity have provided a list of frequently asked questions, to assist staff through the bushfire alerts. Please contact People and Diversity (ucpeople@canberra.edu.au) if you need further assistance.
