News Be cyclone prepared Jan 03 2020 Community members are reminded that we are currently in the middle of cyclone season. When you live in a cyclone prone region, such as North Western Australia, as a priority you need to get ready for the possibility of a cyclone between the months of November and April. We would like to remind residents that preparing your family and your property for a cyclone is your responsibility. This weekend is a timely reminder to: Trim branches and treetops around your home Remove or secure loose items around your home Fix shutters or metal screens to all your glass windows and doors Know how to switch off the electricity, gas and water Planning before the cyclone season can help save lives, minimise property damage and help your family to cope during a cyclone. People also need to take proper precautions and responsibility for their own welfare, prepare property inside and out and develop a cyclone plan to ensure their safety.
