Flood Advice - PREPARE NOW - WARMUN
A Flood Advice is in place for people in WARMUN in the TURKEY CREEK CATCHMENT.
You need to prepare as flooding is forecast. There is no immediate danger but you need to keep up to date in case the situation changes.
WHAT TO DO
Prepare an emergency kit and make sure it is fully stocked. This is important if you become isolated or need to leave for a safer place. Ensure it includes enough canned food and water to last for five to seven days, as well as clothing, important documents such as identification and insurance papers, medication, cash and a battery-operated radio to listen to warnings.
Prepare to move cars, equipment, livestock and pets early so they are not caught in floodwaters.
Fill your vehicle's fuel tank.
Watch for changes in water levels so you are ready if you need to evacuate.
If you are not prepared to be isolated, need support evacuating or medical assistance, consider moving to a location west of Turkey Creek.
Never walk, swim or play in floodwaters, as they are dangerous.
Do not park or camp adjacent to rivers.
Review your plan and make sure everyone in your household knows what to do. If you do not have a plan, make one now on Emergency WA or in the Emergency WA app.
If driving:
Be careful at crossings and floodways as river levels may rise rapidly.
Obey road closure signs and do not drive into water of unknown depth and current.
Take care on gravel and unsealed roads as they may be slippery and muddy, and you could get bogged.
