Stay Safe and Stay Prepared

As Tropical Cyclone Alfred approaches, we want to remind everyone to take necessary precautions and ensure their safety. We have received some important information that we believe is crucial to share with you to help you prepare for the severe weather conditions ahead.


Here are some key points to consider:

  • Prepare an Emergency Kit: Include essentials like non-perishable food, water, first aid supplies, and a battery-powered radio.
     
  • Secure Your Property: Tie down outdoor items, clear gutters, and consider sandbagging entry points if you are in a flood-prone area.
     
  • Stay Informed: Monitor weather updates and follow local authorities' instructions.

Please take these precautions seriously to ensure your safety during this time.
