Action Plan
To minimise the damage caused by a cyclone there are many things you could do. You should have your house checked by a professional to make sure that it is as cyclone safe as possible. You should sign up to the councils early warning system where by you will receive text in advanced in the event of a possible storm occurring.
Always be ready to leave at the last minute by making sure that you have an emergency evacuation kit at the ready. Make sure that you have a spare full petrol tank in case you need to evacuate and you don’t have any fuel in your car. Trim all the trees in the area to limit any potential for serious damage. If there are any big loose objects in your backyard you should tie them down so you don’t lose them and so they don’t become dangerous by flying around and smashing into things. Last of all you should make sure that your storm water drains aren’t blocked to avoid flooding.
