The State Emergency Service is urging people in the relevant forecast areas to be prepared for heavy rainfall tomorrow and Saturday.
The Bureau of Meteorology has indicated parts of the north west, north and east may be impacted by heavy rainfall during Friday night through to Saturday evening, with the possibility of flooding in some areas.
This is an opportunity prior to this weather event for people in affected areas to prepare their property and develop their Home Emergency Plan in preparation.
SES has volunteer crews ready to assist the community and plans are in place to respond to calls during this period.
We encourage road users to be vigilant and always drive to the conditions and be aware of the increased hazards caused by heavy rainfall, including water and debris on and around roads. SES advises people to do the following to prepare:
- Check bom.gov.au for the latest weather forecast and warnings. • Check that family and neighbours, especially those who are vulnerable, are aware of warnings and have a plan in place.
- 請為突發性洪水做好準備。.
- Clear drains and gutters of debris so they flow freely.
- Have a plan for managing pets and livestock.
- 做好停電的準備。.
如遇傾盆大雨及洪水：
- 密切監督兒童。.
- 管理寵物和牲畜。.
- 切勿涉水或開車穿越洪水，開車時請注意路面上的雜物，包括倒塌的樹木和電線。.
- Report power outages to TasNetworks on 132 004.
- Listen to the ABC radio or check www.ses.tas.gov.au for further advice.
