Two years of good rain after a long drought has scientists forecasting one of the worst bushfire seasons in decades for Queensland and New South Wales. Are you prepared?

QFRS Mitigation and Education Officer Gary McCormack say considering a Bushfire Survival plan will greatly increase your preparedness this bushfire season.

“The reason why you should prepare a Bushfire Survival Plan is because circumstances in bushfire events can change very quickly, very dynamically and without warning.

“A Bushfire Survival Plan will give you the ability to plan if your intention is to leave or if your intention is to stay.” Mr McCormack says preparing around your home prior to the bushfire season may help reduce the risk to your property.

To prepare your property for the threat of bushfire, you need to look at the risk around your home. The biggest fuel trap in any home is the gutter.

It’s important to keep your gutter clean and clear of leaf debris and install a quality fire rated metal gutter guard. It will not only maintain the life of your gutters provide clean tank water and pest and vermin proof your roof. Parts of Brisbane, outer Brisbane, The Gold Coast and Then Sunshine Coast are particularly susceptible to bushfires.

Remove the leaves and branches that have blown onto your roof, as gutters rust very quickly when leaves accumulate and then decompose creating a pond. If you have overhanging trees and shrub, keep these well trimmed to reduce the debris that accumulates in the gutters.

Rusted gutters break and you then risk overflow into the ceiling. We can service all your gutter replacements needs and install Total Guard gutter protection to guard your home this storm season!

The post Queensland it’s time to your get your gutters STORM ready!! appeared first on Gutter Protection Brisbane.

The storm season in Queensland is expected to become more violent with thunderstorms intensifying within the months of October to November. With these occurrences, it is advised by the Emergency Services Minster Neil Roberts to also intensify the level of household preparedness of every resident in Queensland.

To better call the awareness of the residents, the Department of Community Safety Department spearheaded an information drive waging warning to the people. The campaign was aptly dubbed as “Can You Survive Three Days?”
The campaignís theme is very timely in raising the awareness of the residents such that many individuals in Queensland are assessing their preparedness in case cyclones and other violent weather disturbances occur to an extent of three days. The government of Queensland has imposed responsibilities to its residents on managing the preparedness of their own households during occurrences of cyclones and storms.

The campaign also reinforces the responsibilities of the homeowners to their properties. Such responsibilities include the cleaning and maintenance of gutters. These structures play crucial roles during heavy rain pour as the cyclone hurls its devastating effects. When the gutters are clean, the rain water can flow smoothly down the spouts, drainage, or rain barrels.
The three-day survival campaign also stressed the importance of cutting overhanging branches of trees that are affecting the functionality of the gutters and the roof itself. The tree branches when not cut before the occurrence of a storm can start a series of unfortunate events including clogging the gutters, damaging the roof, being a conductor of lightning, or falling to other structures in the ground.

Aside from being a responsible homeowner in terms of pre-storm cleaning and maintenance procedures, residents of Queensland are also encouraged to be totally prepared in terms of emergency kits composed of light sources like candles and flashlights, first aid kits, and enough three-day supply of water and food. The stock of foods should include those that can be readily eaten in anticipation of lack of cooking supplies like oil and gas and in cases when services like electricity and water would be cut.

Mr. Roberts further stated that property preparedness and household readiness should not be taken for granted when the arrival of storms and cyclones are announced. It is very important to act quickly. Get those fixes and maintenance done immediately. Store water, food, and medicine and have your emergency kits ready. Being ready in advance is better than getting ready in the last minutes especially when the storm or cyclone is starting to manifest its presence.

There are above average chances of storms and cyclones being formed this storm season. Do not be left out in property and household preparedness during these times. Act now and be safe and sound inside your house as the wrath of wind and rain rages their combined angers. Ask your friendly gutter installers and cleaners at www.totalguard.com.au. Their expert services will make sure that your house is kept ready to face the devastating effects of storms and cyclones. Combine this with your own preparedness and alertness and rest assured you and your family will be able to survive three days of storm or cyclone even if essential services become temporarily unavailable.
