Cyclone Emergency Procedure
Monitor cyclone activity and issue alerts as appropriate. The emergency response will be as per that for a
particular event, but may be restricted or else modified as a result of the severity of conditions.
When a cyclone is developing off the coast and there is a possibility of the area being affected, the
following colour coded cyclone system will be implemented as follows:
    1. Blue Alert: Preparation time will begin with clearing all unnecessary rubbish and loose materials
        from work areas.
    2. Yellow Alert: A cyclone is likely to affect the safety of workers in the area of this project. Tie
        down any items that cannot otherwise be removed from weather system. Workers should be
        sent home.
    3. Red Alert: A cyclone is imminent. Any works still operating must cease immediately and all
        personnel to take cover in the nearest cyclone secure shelter.

Implement the Site Shut down & Storm Preparation Checklist.
This procedure will be more detailed closer to Cyclone season which starts from October onwards. For
further information please refer to Hutchinson Builders Cyclone Management Plan.
