Important message from Chris Morley VK3CJK (sent via email to all members 8th June 2021)

 

I checked into the Gippsland REMT hook-up this afternoon which was convened in preparation for the impending severe weather event and has been likened to the prelude to the June 2007 event.   The forecast regional focus of the east coast low has shifted more to South & West Gippsland which would see downstream flooding around Sale and Stratford initially.  The peak rains are expected overnight Wednesday into Thursday.  

 

It is planned for the RCC in Traralgon, plus ICCs in Traralgon and Bairnsdale to be open 24/7 for five days.   Road closures and evacuations are expected, and a police helicopter is pre-emptively being dedicated to the region.  

 

Covid considerations are limiting, at least initially, the size of the emergency teams in Traralgon and Bairnsdale.  

 

Whilst WICEN is more or less a resource of last resort, it would be useful to top up your batteries and check over your equipment to make sure it is in working order as we have had a role to play with some past flooding events.
