Cyclone
Australia can experience multiple cyclones every year. Cyclones typically occur between November and April according to the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, and can produce winds greater than 200km per hour, hail, flooding rains, lightning, and storm surge.
These events can be devastating to communities. Preparing your home as recommended by your state emergency service can reduce the damage to your property and help protect you from the financial and emotional impact of cyclones.
An emergency kit is an important step to ensure you, and your family are prepared for unexpected events such as cyclones, flooding and severe storms. Refer to our emergency checklist for a list of item to have in your kit
