Prepare for Storm Season: A Guide for Tieri Residents

Storm season is a challenging time for Queenslanders, and Tieri is no exception. While severe weather can’t be avoided, preparation can make all the difference in protecting your family, home, and community. By taking simple, proactive steps now, you can reduce risks and ensure you’re ready for whatever nature brings.

How to Get Ready:

Create an Emergency Plan

• Identify safe evacuation routes and display your plan where your whole family can see it.
• Establish a family meeting point and ensure everyone knows key contact numbers.
• Know where and how to turn off the main supply for water, power, and gas.

Assemble an Emergency Kit

• Include essentials like non-perishable food, bottled water, medications, a first-aid kit, a flashlight, and a battery-powered radio.
• Don’t forget important documents—keep them in waterproof packaging.

Secure Your Property

• Clean gutters and downpipes to prevent water buildup.
• Trim overhanging branches and ensure trees are healthy to minimise debris hazards. Be careful of any overhead powerlines.
• Secure outdoor furniture, toys, and loose items that could become projectiles in high winds.

Stay Informed

• Monitor weather updates from reliable sources.
• Familiarise yourself with local SES alerts and emergency response options.

Proactive preparation doesn’t just protect your household—it contributes to a safer, more resilient community. Simple actions today can prevent serious damage or injury tomorrow.
