Please see below an important safety message from the SA State Emergency Service.

Never drive, walk or ride through floodwater.

🔴 Never drive, ride, or walk through floodwater

👉 If you come across water over the road - turn around immediately. Water on the road can hide deep potholes and damage to roads. Currents may be stronger than what you can see on the surface and water levels can rise rapidly.

👉 Floodwater is dirty and can contain mud, dirt, branches, rock, debris, chemicals, snakes, dead animals, and more.

📞 For emergency SES storm or flood assistance, call 132 500
📞 For life-threatening emergencies, call Triple Zero (000)
