As our friends & customers in the North West brace themselves for potential cyclonic weather caused by TC Anika πͺπ¦, we want to remind you how to prepare your home & business for situations of extreme weather. β
BEFORE A CYCLONE β¬οΈ
β
Review your cyclone plan & check your household knows what to do.
β
Ensure your emergency kit is complete by adding all additional items.
β
Prepare your home inside & out - including securing cyclone shutters & making sure all pets are inside.
β
Before closing your business, make sure all windows & doors are secure, use sandbags to prevent any water from entering your premises.
β
Secure trailers, garden sheds, outdoor furniture, trampolines, rainwater tanks, LPG bottles, loose material, rubbish, boats & caravans.
β
Check in with family, friends and neighbours to make sure theyβre preparing too.
DURING A CYCLONE β¬οΈ
πIf sheltering at home, fill sinks, buckets, containers & bath with clean water in case mains water supply is affected.
πIf RED ALERT has been issued, you must stay inside. It is extremely dangerous to go outside during the cyclone as flying debris can cause injury.
If you are sheltering at home, look for ways to keep yourself and your family safe. For example, moving to a room without windows, using mattresses & cushions for protection.
