Cyclone warning
A warning is issued if winds are expected to affect
coastal or island areas within 24 hours. The warning is
updated every three hours and then every hour if the
cyclone poses a major threat.
The warning includes information on location,
movement and intensity of the cyclone, areas that
are threatened and anticipated rainfall, flooding and
storm surge. If you haven’t done so already, a Cyclone
Warning should be the trigger to activate your
household Emergency Plan.
Depending on official advice provided by the Noosa
LDMG as the event develops the following actions may
be warranted for a cyclone warning:
