00:00I'm glad to be here today to launch the new online planning tool for communities throughout
00:04New South Wales. It's an emergency planning toolkit which helps communities both individuals,
00:10households and businesses make sure that they're well prepared in advance of both storms, flooding
00:15and other weather events as well. So you go to the New South Wales SES website you actually input
00:20your particular information, emergency contact details and the like and also your suburb because
00:26it can actually tailor the specifics to where you live and it also produces a checklist to make
00:31sure that you're well prepared if you need to prepare an emergency toolkit you know what that
00:36is and it provides prompts to do so. It's really important to have emergency numbers having vital
00:41information obviously credit cards and the like as well and other key if you have to evacuate making
00:47sure you've got those critical items with you. It's also important that the community well prepares
00:53in advance of storm season but also throughout the year and to minimise damage to both your home
00:59and risk to your household and business that make sure that you actually clean your gutters,
01:04that you actually trim trees. If there is imminent storm weather that you actually do get your
01:10vehicles and other assets underneath cover and also tie down loose objects such as trampolines that
01:16can be at risk in heavy winds.
