What you need to do:

• If you have a Home and/or Business Emergency Plan, review it now. Otherwise, have a conversation and plan for what you will do and take with you if you need to evacuate.
• Consider the consequences of road and bridge closures and water over roads and make alternate arrangements for work, children, and travel.
• Plan your route carefully to avoid flooded roads and allow extra travel time.
• Obey all signs about road closures and instructions from emergency services.
• Avoid storm drains and pipes, ditches, ravines and rivers.
• Never drive, walk, ride through, play or swim in floodwater - it is dangerous, toxic, and may void your car insurance. If it's flooded, forget it. Fines apply.
• Share this information with family, friends, and neighbours and help others prepare where possible.
• People working or camping along the river should monitor river heights and be prepared to relocate to higher ground.
