In a life threatening emergency dial Triple Zero (000)
Storm and Flood Assistance
The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for damaging winds, large hailstones, and heavy rainfall.
The ACT State Emergency Service advises the community to:
- Move your car under cover and away from trees;
- Secure or put away loose items;
- Keep at least 8 metres away from fallen power lines;
- Stay indoors away from windows;
- Never drive, walk or ride through floodwater.
If you need support during storms and floods call the ACT State Emergency Service on 132 500.
During a large storm event, the number of requests for assistance can climb quickly and exceed available resources, particularly during the holiday period.
If there’s a threat to life or property, rest assured emergency services will always be available.
However, for smaller jobs, like a leaking roof, or water that has subsided, sometimes it can take additional time for crews to attend, your patience is appreciated.
The weather situation can change rapidly, check http://www.bom.gov.au/act/ for weather updates and warnings.
In a life-threatening emergency call Triple-Zero (000).
