Prepare your home for storm season
There is a heightened risk of severe weather from October to March. Don't delay – now is the time to prepare your home for storm season.
Preparing for floods
If you live close to a creek, river, major storm water drains or in a low‐lying area, you may be in a flood-prone area. Make a flood plan to ensure you know what to do in case of an emergency.
