25.01.2022 With many Victorians heading to the region’s magnificent camping and holiday spots this New Year’s long weekend, SES urges locals and visitors to be Storm Ready. To be Storm Ready, follow these two steps to storm safety: 1. Set up your campsite or caravan well away from trees and branches as they can fall unexpectedly.... 2. Secure and tie down your camping gear ready for the forecast gusty winds and heavy rain. The BOM have forecast possible thunderstorms bringing damaging wind gusts and/or heavy rainfall across most of Victoria on Thursday, possibly becoming severe across the parts of the Northern Country and North East weather districts. So, if you are camping or holidaying this long weekend, you should: *Check the Vic Emergency app and local forecasts for any warnings or updates *Set a Watch Zone to include your camp location on the VicEmergency app so you receive any warnings. *If a flood warning is issued for your riverside campsite leave before the water starts to rise and move your camp to higher ground. *If you need help during a storm or flood emergency call SES on 132 500. *If your emergency is life threatening, call 000.
