Safe in nature this summer

Parks Victoria

Visiting nature this summer will be different.

Connecting with nature is vital for the health and wellbeing of all Victorians, including those communities recovering from the impacts of storms and floods.

With more weather events expected over the summer period, the emergency is ongoing, constantly changing and challenging.

Parks Victoria’s priority is to keep you safe while visiting parks. The severe weather has created hazards and risks that many Victorians aren’t familiar with. All visitors are encouraged to plan their visit before leaving home and be prepared when heading out into nature this summer.

1. Plan, before you leave home:

  • Check the forecast at the Bureau of Meteorology
  • Visit the Parks Victoria website and check Flood and Storm Affected Parks for updates on the place you’d like to explore
  • Check for forest and road closures at https://fal.cn/3tHAG
  • Check your local SES flood guide: https://fal.cn/3tHAF
