That’s rightit can take as little as 15cm of water for a small car to begin to float. Medium cars can be moved in as little as 30cm of water, and larger cars only 45cm!

12.01.2022 Did you get the answer for today’s quiz? Question: During which event would you call 132 500? Answer: C) Tree falls on your home.... If a tree decides to rest on your fence and is not causing an emergency, calling a local arborist may be the best solution. If a tree or large branch falls on a person, you should call 000 immediately since this is a life-threatening emergency. But, when a tree decides to fall on your home, give us a call on 132 500 and our volunteers will be there to help. However, if it’s a life-threatening emergency, always call 000 first.

And, if roads become flooded or there’s fast flowing water around, don’t risk itturn the car around and find another way, and keep kids and others safe by not walking, playing or riding through it.

11.01.2022 After the rain we had last week, some of you may be wondering how to use sandbags, where you can get them or how to dispose of them. Sandbags placed in appropri...ate locations around your home, such as wastewater drains, can help minimise the impact of flooding. You can buy sandbags in places such as hardware or garden supply stores. If you can’t find them there and need them in an emergency, plastic shopping bags or grain and animal fodder bags may also be used. Ahead of a major storm or flood, we may make them available from locations in your area, which we will publish on our social media and our website. When they’ve been used you need to be careful with handling them since they’ve been exposed to floodwater which may contain human and animal waste, chemicals and more. This includes wearing sturdy gloves and goggles. You can find more information about sandbags by reading our ‘How to sandbag your home’ fact sheet: http://ow.ly/GF1R50DqNvM
