Church of Scientology of Melbourne Coordinating Scientology Disaster Relief for Bushfires in Victoria, Australia

Teams of Scientology Volunteer Ministers from Scientology churches around Australia are mobilizing to evacuate those in the area and give assistance to the firefighters and other emergency response personnel.

A series of bushfires in the mountains of Southeastern Australia are threatening to join and create one vast fire in the state.

While thick clouds of smoke move in over Melbourne, 2 hours north of the fire zone, over 540 square miles (1,400 square km) of bushland have been burned. And there is no relief in sight, with a forecast of hot and gusty winds and temperatures expected to reach 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius) tomorrow.

Any form of help that can be given on an immediate basis is needed in Austrlia. Contact the Scientology Volunteer Ministers on how you can help.
