How to prepare for Cyclone Alfred and what to do if it’s too late to leave

Cyclone Alfred is predicted to make landfall anywhere between Brisbane and Sunshine Coast this week .

The Australian Bureau of Meteorology has warned it may bring severe hazards and life-threatening flash flooding.

So, how do you prepare for a cyclone and what do you do if it’s too late to leave?.

Climate change means cyclones are likely to be more severe in future.

Many houses in north Queensland are designed for cyclone zones, but not as many further south will be.

For non-life threatening emergencies such as a tree on your roof, or water running through your house call the SES on 132 500 .

If it’s a life-threatening emergency, always call triple 0 ..
