RFS community liaison officer Marty Webster encouraged community to reflect on their plans.
"Pretty much everyone on the Far South Coast at some stage last year enacted a bushfire survival plan," he said.
"To those who had a close call, I recommend you look over your plan and how it worked for you and find any areas which could be improved.
"It's also worth remembering there's a potential for grass fires in some areas this year, following good rainfall," Mr Webster said.
