 HUFF aims to ensure the well-being of people within the communities of Blackheath, Medlow Bath and Mt Victoria in the event of bushfires and other extreme weather events. Residents in the upper Blue Mountains are encouraged to participate at a neighbourhood level to actively reduce risk and manage threats to their safety prior to an emergency event.

How Does it Work?
The basic aim of HUFF is to encourage neighbours to get to know one another so that people feel more connected and better prepared for emergencies. Ideally, each street would have a volunteer HUFF Facilitator, who is willing to facilitate informal connections with neighbours and act as a conduit of information prior to and during an event.Â
