Keep pets close by, always know where they are.

Clean up yards and secure moveable objects such as trampolines, BBQs and outdoor furniture.

🧱Builders and construction site managers are reminded to prepare sites before the rain, and monitor and manage sediment. 

🧡Check on your family, friends and neighbours and share this information. 

🦺Safety is your highest priority - never drive, walk or play in flood waters.
