Hazardous weather conditions

Hello. 

Just wondering what other hosts do in cases of bad weather. We are currently experiencing a heatwave and today is a total fire ban day - advice is for residents in bushfire-prone rural areas to leave the area. Do you have policies regarding bookings and cancellations for weather conditions? Do penalties apply if hosts cancel?

Cheers,

Deb.

If the advice is to leave, I would not accept guests and also give a total refund. But call airbnb and get them to cancel, no penalties this way. Do not cancel yourself.

It is a hot and windy day today in Vic but I looked at the incident map on CFA and could not see warnings for your area?
