Today at 2:30pm we’re expecting a magnitude 1.7 FOOTY-QUAKE with an epicentre at the MCG as Swans and Lions fans take the stands.
Drop, cover, and hold on to your Four N Twenty pie. May the best team win!
It might be one day, one week or one month away. But a storm will come. ⛈️
When it does, these steps can help keep you and your property safe:
🏡 Move to a safe space indoors.
💧 Stay away from trees, drains and waterways.
🚗 Park your car securely undercover.
Make use of those extra pairs of hands around the house during the school holidays by packing your emergency kit!
Having an emergency kit ready to go is a great way to make sure you’re prepared if a flood or storm hits. 🎒

Storms and flash flooding can occur at any time of year. ⛈️
Water across roads can hide hazards and dangerous debris such as rocks and branches, and road surfaces that have been washed away.
You can easily get caught and trapped, so don’t risk it. Never drive in floodwater. 🛑
