Learn. Prepare.
Compete. Share.
Living in the Adelaide Hills, we know all too well that we face some serious risk from bushfires. We should be prepared, but hey, there's so much living to do.
So at the Bridgewater & Aldgate Community Support Hub, we thought that we could make the task of getting ready for the next fire season more rewarding.
Preparoo is free and fun. You can win prizes, compete with others, and share your insights to inspire the community.
