Storms can happen anywhere, any time. Make sure you know the risks and understand the importance of preparing for storms.
Storms range in severity and can pass through fairly harmlessly or pose a significant threat to the community. Severe storms can impact communities with damaging wind, large hail, tornadoes and heavy rain that can cause flash flooding.

What should I do during a storm?
If you’re home when a storm passes through, be sure to stay inside away from windows.
- close curtains or blinds
- ensure pets and animals are secure and safe
- turn off electrical appliances
- don’t use landline telephones (mobile phones are safe to use during a storm)
- If caught outside, seek shelter in a vehicle or building but don’t shelter under trees. If driving during a storm, pull over and park in a safe location until the storm passes.
- Remember to stay clear of trees, powerlines, storm water drains and streams. After the storm has passed, motorists should not drive into water of unknown depth and current.
