When disaster strikes you need to follow the advice of authorities on staying put or evacuating and follow your emergency plan.

  • Stay calm
  • Follow your prepared emergency plans

Here are some handy rules of thumb to use for certain types of emergencies:

  • Cyclone/storm tide - run from water - Shelter in place from wind
  • Riverine flooding - stay with friends in high places
  • Bushfire - if you are going to leave, leave early
  • Hazardous material accident - stay upwind or stay inside
  • Tsunami - go inland one kilometre or go up ten metres
  • Dam release - get out and move to higher ground quickly
