all endeavours should be made to keep off the
roads.
“Now might be a good time to get to know your work mates a bit better,” he says. “Keep an ear on the radio and visit the emergency office website and facebook page (facebook.com/WREMOnz and www.getprepared.org)”
People should check their household emergency plan and get away kit. If you live near rivers you are advised to be prepared to evacuate quickly if it becomes necessary.
