This 2020–21 spring/summer, Australia is experiencing a La Niña event with wetter than normal conditions expected across eastern and northern Australia. In the event of La Niña taking place there will likely be high velocity storms, frequent heavy rain and heavier stormwater runoff in the street drains, waterways and outfalls. Storms and heavy rains can have a big impact on your property, your neighbours and the wider community. We're encouraging Peninsula residents to revisit or create your emergency plan and prepare your property in advance. Remember, never wait for a warning to act. It is not always possible to predict where and when flooding will occur, especially flash flooding. Here are some tips on preparing your property:
The Emergency Preparedness website has all the information you need on how to prepare your property in case of emergency. This website has information on heatwaves, power outages, floods, bushfires, storms and more. For more information head to emergencyprepare.com.au and bom.gov.au/knowyourweather.
