STORM SEASON DOESN’T GIVE WARNINGS. PREPARATION DOES.
With storm season approaching across North Queensland, now is the perfect time to take a look around your home and make sure everything is ready.
Here are 5 simple checks to put on your storm-season checklist:
🏠 1. Check your screens & doors
Look for damaged mesh, loose components or anything that may need attention. Make sure your doors and screens are closing and locking properly.
🌿 2. Inspect outdoor areas
Check awnings, shutters, patio enclosures and outdoor structures for signs of wear, damage or loose fittings.
🧹 3. Clear gutters & downpipes
Remove leaves and debris so heavy rain has somewhere to go and water can drain away properly.
🪑 4. Secure loose items
Outdoor furniture, pot plants, umbrellas and other loose items can become dangerous in strong winds. Secure or store them before severe weather arrives.
🔍 5. Check everything is working
Open and close your windows, doors and screens to make sure they’re operating correctly. It’s much easier to address an issue now than during a storm.
