What to do during an emergency
Understand what to do in a flood, storm and tsunami hazard.
Floods can have different impacts depending on the severity. You need to get ready based on predictions to keep people and property safe. Learn about the official flood warnings and get familiar your evacuation routes.
During a storm, stay home and follow all advice from emergency services. In a cyclone or tornado, go to a safer shelter immediately. If driving, find secure shelter away from trees, powerlines, and low-lying areas Turn around at flooded roads and find a safer way to go to seek shelter.
During a tsunami there is often little time to prepare your property and if it is a Land Inundation Threat, no preparations will protect your property adequately due to the large amount of debris that often accompanies tsunami waves.
