✔️Take it a bit slower on the roads
✔️Steer clear of floodwater, especially at creek crossings (where roads cross creeks or waterways).
✔️Allow extra time to get where you’re going

It’s the little things that make a difference when the weather turns.
If you need help, you can call SES on 132 500 for emergency flood and storm assistance.

Stay safe.

Heavy rainfall and thunderstorms are forecast across South Australia this weekend.

Now is a great time to check and clean your gutters where it is safe to do so.

Blocked gutters can cause water to overflow into and around your home, which can lead to costly damage and localised flooding.
Clear gutters, downpipes and drains to prevent water damage to your home or property.

✅Remove leaves and debris
✅Check downpipes are flowing freely
✅Do it safely, or ask for help if needed
A little preparation now can prevent big problems later.
