Food poisoning is one of the most common illnesses in Australia, with an estimated 4 to 7 million cases of foodborne illness each year.

The inside of a hot car provides the ideal environment and temperature for bacteria to multiply, so food should be in the car for as short a time as possible.

Pick up refrigerated and frozen foods at the end of your shopping trip and keep them cold during transportation by using insulated shopping bags, especially on very hot days.

When transporting fruit and veggies from the shop and in storage at home, keep them separate from raw meat, poultry, and seafood.

UPDATE 1.30pm: Conditions are easing, and we understand they are likely to continue to improve. That being the case, the risk of disconnection today is now low.
__

CUSTOMER ADVICE 12.45pm: We're monitoring escalating bushfire conditions in Port Pirie, Snowtown and surrounds, and disconnection of power may be required today to ensure community safety. Conditions are currently in the extreme category. If we disconnect, we will reconnect power as soon as the fire risk abates and it is safe to do so. We understand it is challenging on hot days to lose power and we appreciate your understanding. Further updates will be provided via social media, website and SMS updates.

Your phone carries a dirty secret… 🦠

From the morning commute to the dinner table (and even the toilet in between), we don’t give much thought to where we use our phones and the dirt and germs we pick up along the way.

Make sure you wash your hands regularly to help stop the spread of germs.

It’s a good idea to clean your phone regularly too – make sure you use products that won’t damage it.

During the hot weather, please remember to check-in with vulnerable or isolated loved ones and encourage them to register for the Australian Red Cross TeleRedi service.

We activate the service during a declared , which sees registered people called daily to ensure they’re coping with the extreme weather. If a call goes unanswered or if someone is in distress, an emergency procedure is activated to ensure their safety and wellbeing.

TeleRedi supports people who may be more vulnerable during extreme heat, including those who live alone, older people, people with disability, mental illness, recovering from illness or injury, and people with ongoing health conditions.
