Know Your Risk
Storms can happen anywhere, at any time of the year. It is important to prepare your family and prepare your property now and stay prepared all year round. Storms are the most costly natural disaster to affect NSW.
Plan Now For What You Will Do
One of the most important things you can do now is to plan for future emergencies.
Remember, it is important to protect your family from storms and minimise damage to your property or business.
Prepare Your Home
There are eight simple things that you can do now to prepare your home and help reduce the potential damage caused by severe storms.
Make a plan for your animals today
Planning how to take care of your animals before an emergency helps to keep everyone safe.
Learn about Coastal Erosion
Coastal erosion is the loss of land along the shoreline due to the natural removal of beach and dune material in response to changing wave and water level conditions.
Things to consider if you live in a rural area
As a rural property owner or manager you may have experienced many storms.
The effects of storms on rural property owners can include losses to livestock, crops, fencing, buildings, personal items, farm equipment and machinery.
Get Your Emergency Kit Together
When a severe storm impacts your area, you may need to relocate until the area can be deemed safe. Having an emergency Kit ready will allow to to move to safety knowing you have everything you and your family need.
Know your warnings
Severe Weather and Severe Thunderstorm Warnings are issued by the Bureau of Meteorology to alert communities to the threat of severe weather.
Look out for each other
Looking out for each other before a storm hits can help one another prepare and ensure everyone is on the same page.
StormSafe for people living with deafness and hearing impairments
