Townsville residents are urged to stay informed and prepared as severe weather approaches.

The Townsville Local Disaster Management Group (TLDMG) has moved to Alert as the Bureau of Meteorology warns of increasing flood risk across North Queensland, including the Townsville region.

From Sunday a coastal trough will become slow-moving between Ayr and Cairns, bringing prolonged heavy rainfall. The exact location of the heaviest falls remains uncertain.

Catchments likely to be affected include Ross and Bohle Rivers, Black River, Bluewater Creek, Haughton River, and the Burdekin River system.

TLDMG Chair Nick Dametto said the group is closely monitoring conditions and urged residents to act now.

โ€œWeโ€™ve moved to Alert so we can prepare the community should the weather worsen,โ€ Cr Dametto said.

โ€œThere is no need to panic, but please review your emergency plan, have your emergency kit ready, and be prepared to leave if required.โ€

Cr Dametto reminded residents:
โ–ช๏ธ Include medications, infant supplies, and pet plans in your emergency kit
โ–ช๏ธ Do not drive through floodwaters โ€“ if itโ€™s flooded, forget it
โ–ช๏ธ Stay informed via Councilโ€™s Disaster Dashboard, local radio, and official channels

To assist with preparations, sand and sandbags will be made available at four locations across Townsville:

โ–ช๏ธ Lou Litster Park โ€“ Railway Estate
โ–ช๏ธ Bruce Hwy & Mount Low Parkway โ€“ Mount Low
โ–ช๏ธ Bluewater Community Centre โ€“ Bluewater
โ–ช๏ธ Cungulla SES Depot โ€“ Cape Cleveland

For non-life threatening emergencies, call SES on 132 500.

To stay up to date visit the Emergency Management and Disaster Dashboard (https://disaster.townsville.qld.gov.au/), follow this page or listen to local radio.
