North Lakes / Mango Hill Home Owners…… Are You Prepared For Storm Season?

Are you ready for storm season? It is extremely important to make sure you and your family are fully prepared this summer! Discuss with your family or household residents what could possibly happen if a local fire, major storm event or flood occurred. Discuss how you plan to respond to each potential disaster, what to do during power cuts or if anyone ends up being severely injured. Protect your home and family members by securing all loose items and start on a house plan and identify two escape routes.

Prepare an emergency kit with these suggested items:

• A portable battery operated radio and torch with fresh or spare batteries and bulb
• A list of Brisbane radio stations for emergency information
• Candles with waterproof matches or a gas lantern
• Reasonable stocks of fresh water and tinned or dried food
• A first aid kit and basic first aid knowledge
• Good supplies of essential medication
• Strong shoes and rubber gloves
• A waterproof bag for clothing and valuables- put valuables and certificates in the bag and put the bag in a safe place
• A list of your emergency contact numbers
• A car charger for your mobile
• Blankets
