Subject: Important Safety Information Regarding Tropical Cyclone Alfred.

Dear community members

As Tropical Cyclone Alfred approaches the southern Queensland coast, it is vital to ensure you are well-prepared and that your home remains as safe as possible. Heavy rainfall and gale-force winds are anticipated, so please follow these precautions to protect yourself and your property.

Preparation Steps:

✔ Secure Outdoor Items: Bring inside or secure outdoor items such as furniture, trampolines, toys, and bins that could become hazardous in strong winds.

✔ Close and Lock Windows and Doors. Ensure all windows and doors are locked. If necessary, use towels, blankets, or sandbags to prevent water from seeping in, particularly through minor cracks.

✔ Collect Sandbags.Pick up sandbags from your local council’s designated stations, which will be open from this afternoon. This is especially important if your property has experienced runoff or excessive water during the 2022 floods. If you're uncertain, it’s better to take some anyway.

✔ Store Valuables Safely :Place valuable items in a secure, elevated location to protect them from potential water damage.

✔ Maintain Your Yard. Keep lawns and gardens tidy and ensure drains are clear to help prevent water pooling. Pay special attention to external drains, especially strip drains and those around rocky areas.

✔ Prepare for Power Outages: Have torches, batteries, and a fully charged phone ready in case of power outages.

✔ Stock Up on Essentials: Ensure you have enough water, food, and medications on hand.

**Emergency Contacts:**
- For life-threatening emergencies, call 000.
- For storm damage assistance (fallen trees, minor flooding), call SES at 132 500.

**Stay Informed & Be Ready:**
- Current weather warnings: Bureau of Meteorology
- Cyclone preparation guide: Get Ready Queensland
- Your local council (MBRC, BCC) will also provide updated information on disaster management. Visit their website to sign up for alerts and check available resources.
- Contact your local council or energy company if you believe trees in your street may pose a threat to your property or power lines.
- Identify the strongest room in your home to shelter in during storms and cyclones.
- Know how to turn off the main supply for water, power, and gas.

If you have any concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Stay safe and take care!

Footprints bus will be visiting the centre tomorrow! 9am until 1.30pm
The Footprints Walking on Country foot care is a free mobile foot disease prevention program focusing on the prevention and management of foot complications and their risk factors such as diabetes, and other chronic diseases. The Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service is piloting in the region, the program has a focus on primary and secondary prevention through improved access to community-based care and consumer engagement in diabetes management, particularly in relation to basic foot care, foot hygiene and education. We operate out of our foot bus which has a fitted podiatry chair inside to complete our assessments. Our bus usually takes up 4 car spaces, we have an awning and chairs to provide shelter and comfort for those waiting. If we detect any abnormalities in blood flow and nerve complications, we can refer to our community podiatrist if needed.

I would like to emphasise that our foot screenings/assessments and diabetes risk assessments and diabetes education services are FREE and available to everyone. No need to book a foot assessment it is a walk-in service.
