Travel only if you need to and check road conditions first
Queensland Fire Services undertook seven swift water rescues
overnight - a clear indication that some people are not heeding
the message to give flooded roads a miss.
Local Disaster Co-ordinator, Alan Rogers is again calling on
motorists to err on the side of caution if they need to
travel.
“Council’s Facebook site at www.facebook.com/SunshineCoastCouncil
will be updated regularly with information about road closures so
please check it before getting into your car," said Mr
Rogers.
“And remember – if it’s flooded – forget it! Do not cross a
flooded road. Doing so puts not only your life at risk but the
lives of the emergency workers called out to help.
“Residents preparing for Australia Day activities tomorrow are
also asked to check council’s website and contact organisers to
get the latest information about events – some have already been
cancelled.
“And if you do head out tomorrow – again check road conditions
before you leave.”
Council’s indoor Australia Day event at Caloundra Event Centre
is, at this stage, still scheduled to go ahead. Check council’s
Facebook or the web for updates.
Emergency Services Queensland are reminding home owners to use a
predicted lull in the weather this afternoon or tomorrow
(refer to Bureau of Meteorology for updates) to check or recheck
drains and gutters for debris in readiness for further heavy
rainfalls expected on Friday evening and over the weekend.
