Roads may become unsafe or impassable very quickly.
The most dangerous period will be around 2pm when high tide coincides with the cyclone crossing the city.
For those who have not already self evacuated:
- If you are not at immediate risk and feel safe, stay where you are and shelter in place during the peak conditions
- If conditions change or you feel unsafe at any time, act quickly. Move to higher ground or a safer location.
If life is at risk, call 111.
