The State Emergency Service is encouraging Tasmanians to prepare their properties for damaging winds today.

“The State Emergency Service (SES) is urging Tasmanians to prepare their properties for winds with a Severe Weather Warning in place for today,” said SES Regional Manager South, Mark Nelson.

“With damaging winds forecast for most of the state overnight and increasing today, I ask all Tasmanians to take a moment to prepare their properties, which includes trying down loose items, including outdoor furniture and play equipment.

“We will have SES volunteer crews prepared and on standby to assist anyone affected by the forecast damaging winds, and I ask the community to help us by taking the time to prepare for the forecast hazards,” said Regional Manager Nelson.

The State Emergency Service advises that people should:

  • 아이들을 주의 깊게 감독하세요.
  • 가족과 이웃이 경고를 인지하고 있는지 확인하십시오. 
  • 반려동물과 가축을 관리하세요. 
  • Secure outdoor items including furniture and play equipment.
  • 정전 시 대비하시고, 정전 발생 시 TasNetworks(132 004)에 신고해 주세요.
  • Park Cars undercover away from trees.
  • 파손된 나무와 전신주를 조심하고 운전 시 주의하십시오.
