Responding to a flood threat

It's important that you understand how to respond to a flood.

Follow these tips when flooding is likely to impact your property:

move valuables up high
collect sandbags from Council depots
listen to your local radio station for updates and/or visit Council's website
make sure your emergency kit is ready. This should contain valuables such as jewellery, a back up of important computer files, warm clothing, important documents (such as birth certificates), and any needs for infants and pets
plan your evacuation route. Don't drive through floodwaters. If you plan to evacuate, do so early, as roads may become flooded or congested
