  • Stay listening to your local ABC Radio station, check your local ABC Facebook page for updates, warnings and advice.
  • Search for BOM storm warnings in your location on the ABC Emergency incident map.
  • Check your local BOM radar to see where the storm is now. 
  • Stay indoors and keep away from windows while storm conditions are severe. 
  • Unplug your modem. When lightning strikes the node, it causes an electrical surge inside the house that can destroy your router or modem. 
  • Keep your emergency kit handy in case you lose power.
  • If you're driving during a storm try to find an undercover area to pull into. Don't park under trees.
  • Never drive into water over roads.
