What you need to do:

• Move or stay indoors clear of windows, bringing children and pets with you.
• If caught outdoors, shelter under sturdy cover away from lightning, hail, trees and power lines.
• Use stairs instead of lifts in severe weather. You may become trapped if the power goes out.
• If your roof or balcony is struck by a fallen tree/branch or other large debris - stay clear and remain indoors if you can. It may have been structurally weakened, even if there is no obvious damage.
• Have your emergency kit and grab and go bag handy in case you lose power.
• If driving, put your hazard lights on and pull over to the side of the road keeping clear of low lying areas, drains, causeways, streams, creeks, trees and power lines.
• Contact family members, friends, or neighbours to ensure they are aware of the situation, and your location, if safe to do so.
