Know your weather, know your risk - Floods 🌧️
As we approach the high-risk weather season, it's important for our Cherbourg community to stay informed and prepared. Currently, there's no immediate danger, but being proactive can make all the difference.

Floods can occur when heavy rain, rising rivers, or storm tides cover areas that are usually dry. They can disrupt roads, isolate families, and affect homes and Country.

To stay prepared:
• BOM Weather App – get important alerts and updates 👉🏾 https://www.qld.gov.au/emergency/dealing-disasters/disaster-types/flood/flood-warnings-and-alerts/bom-weather-app-flood-warning-notifications
• Indigenous Weather Knowledge – seasonal and cultural insights 👉🏾 https://beta.bom.gov.au/resources/indigenous-weather-knowledge
