Listen continuously to your local radio/TV for further warnings.

Here are some precautionary measures as recommended

• Before the cyclone season, check with your local council if your home has been built to cyclone standards.
• Check that the walls, roof and eaves of your home are secure.
• Trim treetops and branches well clear of your home (get council permission).
• Fit shutters, or at least metal screens, to all glass areas.
• Clear your property of loose material that could blow about and possibly cause injury or damage during extreme winds.
• In case of a storm warning or other flooding, know your nearest safe high ground and the safest access route to it.
• Prepare an emergency kit to take with you and keep a list of emergency numbers on display.
• When a cyclone watch is issued, fill your car's fuel tank. Ensure that your family members know which is the strongest part of your house.
• Listen continuously to your local radio/TV for further warnings.
• When the cyclone strikes, disconnect all electrical appliances. Listen to your battery radio for updates.
• Stay indoors (unless you are asked to evacuate) in the strongest part of the building, i.e. cellar, internal hallway or bathroom. Keep evacuation and emergency kits with you.
• Protect yourself with mattresses, rugs or blankets under a strong table or bench if the building starts to break up.
• Drive carefully as roads may be filled with debris.
