Are you Prepared for Storm Season?

Mother nature can strike at anytime of year quickly, unexpectedly, unpredictably and with great ferocity at times which can cause severe damage, flooding, road closures, isolation, disruption to utility services (water, electricity, gas & sewerage), injury and in extreme cases even loss of life. These effects can be localised to a single suburb or a town however can be as widespread as covering entire regions in severe storm events.

If it's Flooded, Forget it!

Over the Christmas period this year large sections of northern Australia and Queensland have been hit by severe storms causing damage, power outages and emotional strain. Our thoughts go out to our fellow Australians at this time and we wish them a swift recovery. Unfortunately these events are often something we see on the news and think it will never happen to us, until it does. There are, however, steps we can take to help prepare us for these situations to make our circumstances better should we ever have to experience such an event. Better safe than sorry, so they say.
