If you're heading out into alpine areas, ensure you're prepared:
🔶 Always check the weather and plan ahead
🔶 Carry a personal locator beacon and tell someone your plans
🔶 Complete a National Park trip intentions form and bring the right gear
🛑 With heavy rainfall forecast in some area, remember to steer clear of floodwaters. If you come across a flooded road, turn around and find an alternative route.
