24.01.2022 TOP PRIORITY FOR IMMEDIATE BROADCAST Severe Thunderstorm Warning for HEAVY RAINFALL and DAMAGING WINDS For people in Wide Bay and Burnett, Southeast Coast and parts of Central Highlands and Coalfields, Capricornia and Darling Downs and Granite Belt Forecast Districts.... Issued at 1:45 pm Tuesday, 2 January 2018. Severe thunderstorms are likely to produce heavy rainfall that may lead to flash flooding and damaging winds in the warning area over the next several hours. Locations which may be affected include Warwick, Gold Coast, Toowoomba, Gympie, Coolangatta, Ipswich, Kingaroy, Biloela and Stanthorpe. Queensland Fire and Emergency Services advises that people should: * Move your car under cover or away from trees. * Secure loose outdoor items. * Never drive, walk or ride through flood waters. If its flooded, forget it. * Seek shelter, preferably indoors and never under trees. * Avoid using the telephone during a thunderstorm. * Beware of fallen trees and powerlines. * For emergency assistance contact the SES on 132 500. The next warning is due to be issued by 4:45 pm. If severe thunderstorms develop in the Southeast Queensland area (east of Dalby from Rainbow Beach to Stanthorpe), a more detailed Severe Thunderstorm Warning will be issued to people in this area. Warnings are also available through TV and Radio broadcasts, the Bureaus website at www.bom.gov.au or call 1300 659 219. The Bureau and Queensland Fire and Emergency Services would appreciate warnings being broadcast regularly.

23.01.2022 FYI for anyone who is interested in Sunwaters information day.

23.01.2022 As quite a lot have heard, there has been a large shift in the computer modelling in the last 24hrs. We have been analysing the situation but have waited to com...ment until the guidance became more clear and it occurred for a few runs. The main shift is in the southern extent that Owen will travel. It would appear increasing unlikely that SEQ will be impacted. The overall easterly then south easterly track is still happening and in good agreement, though this has trended northwards as well. At this stage we arent sure on just how far south it will travel (apart from being confident in SEQ being in the clear) as intensity will play a big factor in this. This will be important as the stalling location will likely receive much more rainfall. Whats changed over the last 24hrs? A combination of a couple of things. Firstly and most importantly, the turn back towards the east from the system was delayed and therefore is missing its chance to be slung vigorously around the axis of the the upper level trough. This leads to the next point about the upper trough as well. Its looking like the whole dynamics of the system have not become as strong as expected. So the net effect of these two things is to see a system that weakens much faster over land as it doesnt obtain baroclinic properties, and this weakness reduces its southern travel extent. At this stage Port Douglas to Rockhampton should still prepare for strong winds and heavy rainfall. We will endeavour to bring you more information on what each location may be looking at in terms of wind and rain through subscriber updates and tonight Nitso is planning on giving a live video another shot for followers on Facebook. So hang in there folks, we will try and unravel what has occurred over the last 24hrs. Below we have the GFS and CMC ensembles which shows roughly what the current expectations are. The EC ensemble is not overly dissimilar.

10.01.2022 Thats awesome!

08.01.2022 An extreme fire danger forecast has been issued for Banana Shire. Just because you dont live in the bush, surrounded by trees, doesnt mean you cannot be affec...ted by bushfires. You are urged to keep up to date with forecasts and warnings on local radio, www.ruralfire.qld.gov.au and www.bom.gov.au and start thinking about the impact a bushfire could have on your property. Tips for preparing your home for bushfire season Prepare or update your bushfire plan and bushfire kit Talk to your family and neighbours about the plan Make sure your house number is clearly displayed (for emergency service crews) Mow your lawn regularly and remove dry grass, dead leaves and branches from your yard Trim low-lying branches Clear your gutters of leaves and twigs, install leaf guards to reduce maintenance Move any flammable items such as wood piles, paper, boxes, crates and garden furniture well away from the house Remove any flammable materials such as paint or engine oils from your shed or garage Vent pipes on LPG cylinders away from the house. For further information on preparing for bushfires go to www.ruralfire.qld.gov.au

07.01.2022 With TC Owen expected to make landfall and track down the QLD coast area, please start to prepare now. Make sure you secure loose items, trim overhanging branches and clean your gutters. Make sure your emergency kit is ready and accessible. And also have an evacuation plan ready and communicate this to your friends and family. Stay safe and remember, if its flooded, forget it! If you need SES assistance, please call 132 500.

07.01.2022 Happy International Volunteers Day!

07.01.2022 Dont forget to Wear Orange to Work day is only 14 days away! Say thanks to your SES volunteers by wearing our colours.

03.01.2022 SES volunteers from across Queensland have come together in Rockhampton to put their skills to the test. #9News | http://9News.com.au

02.01.2022 ***SUNWATER ALERT SOUNDED IN BILOELA ON 27 AND 28 JUNE 2018*** On Wednesday 27 June at approximately 6.00pm and Thursday morning at 7.15am the Dam Emergency War...ning sirens at Biloela were activated in error.

02.01.2022 The Bureau of Meteorology cancelled the severe weather warning for Banana Shire last night. As a result the Banana Shire Local Disaster Management Group has sto...od down. The weather situation, particularly the movement for former Tropical Cyclone Owen, will be monitored over the coming days. The current forecast is for fine, hot weather to continue for the rest of the week.

02.01.2022 Edit - All groups within the Banana Shire are very low on volunteers. Can you spare some time to help your community? Biloela SES is also looking for more volunteers to join our team. If giving back to your community is something that you would like to do, send us a message or rock up to our training sessions on a Monday night from 6.30pm. All training & PPE is supplied. We just need you & some of your valuable time.

02.01.2022 TROPICAL CYCLONE IRIS LDMG ACTIVATION TO ALERT As a result of the reformation of Tropical Cyclone Iris, and its slow southward expected tracking over the next... few days, the Banana Local Disaster Management Group (LDMG) has activated to Alert. Any changes to this status will be communicated on this page. Alert is defined by the Banana Shire Local Disaster Management Plan as a heightened level of vigilance due to the possibility of an event in the area of responsibility. No action is required, however the situation will be closely monitored with regular communication with the Bureau of Meteorology. For cyclone preparedness and safety advice please refer to Queenslands Disaster Management Services website: www.disaster.qld.gov.au. Please also refer to the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) for further updates: http://www.bom.gov.au/cgi-bin/wrap_fwo.pl?IDQ20023.html.
