In Victoria, there are 2 categories for properties at risk of bushfires:
- Bushfire Prone Area (BPA)
- Bushfire Management Overlay (BMO)
Most rural & urban fringe areas of Victoria are in a 'Bushfire Prone Area' (BPA), in addition the more extreme areas will also have a 'Bushfire Management Overlay' (BMO). If your property is in a BMO, it's also in a BPA.
