Western Australian students live in a state that will continue to be affected by fire, bushfires, cyclones, earthquakes, floods, severe storms and tsunamis.
FESA provides a number of resources and services to Western Australian schools aimed at raising awareness of natural and man- made disasters and preventing emergencies, where possible.

The Fire Inside Out education package aims to educate primary students about key aspects of home fires and bushfires – prevention, preparation, response and recovery.
Students can participate in activities linked to a number of learning areas, including Science, Society and Environment, Health and Physical Education, English and Mathematics.
Each package includes three colourful kits – one each for junior, middle and senior primary students – containing comprehensive teachers’ guides and student activities and resources, including big books, music CD and video.
