A few helpful tips from NT Police, Fire & Emergency Services:
- Trim tree tops and branches well clear of your home
- Clear your property of loose material that could blow about and possibly cause injury or damage during extreme winds
- In case of a storm surge/tidal warning, or other flooding, know your nearest safe high ground and the safest access route to it
- Prepare an emergency kit that can sustain every member of the household for at least 72 hours.
