💧 CHECK YOUR GUTTERS & DRAINS 💧

Blocked gutters and drains are one of the biggest causes of storm damage SES volunteers respond to.

Before heavy rains commence:
🧹 Clear leaves & debris from gutters
🚿 Check downpipes are flowing freely
💦 Clear yard drains so water can escape safely

A few minutes of cleaning now could save thousands in water damage later.

If your home has developed mould after recent severe weather or leaks, it’s important to clean up safely and early.

🟠 Stay safe first:
• Wear gloves, a mask and eye protection.
• If you smell strong mould or see a large area affected, consider getting professional advice: https://www.health.qld.gov.au/public-health/disaster/public-health-advice/mould

🟠 How to clean small areas of mould:
• Mix white vinegar (undiluted) in a spray bottle.
• Spray directly onto the mould and let it sit for at least 10 minutes.
• Wipe clean with a cloth you can wash in hot water afterwards.

🟠 Prevent regrowth:
• Mix ¼ teaspoon of clove oil in 1 litre of water.
• Lightly spray the area and leave it to dry — clove oil helps kill the mould spores, not just the stain.

🟠 Dry your home:
• Increase ventilation by opening windows and doors when safe.
• Use fans or dehumidifiers to reduce moisture.

If the mould is widespread or your home has structural damage, contact a qualified professional.

⛈ Today should see the last of the storms for a bit (hopefully), but there's potential for it to be another severe one.

Make sure you're ready by:

✅ Preparing your yard - secure trampolines, pack away loose items & outdoor furniture.

✅ Staying safe after the weather - watch our for damaged trees, damage around your home, flood water and fallen power lines.

✅ If you need assistance, call 000 in a life-threatening emergency; OR for emergency storm damage assistance call SES on 132 500, visit our website 132500.qld.gov.au/ses-webapp/, or download the SES Assistance QLD App.

✅ For local updates on disaster events, monitor Council's disaster dashboard https://disaster.logan.qld.gov.au/


Stay safe out there!

In true SES spirit, volunteers from far and wide stepped up to help.

Volunteer crews from Coffs Harbour, Lismore, Ballina, Ulmarra, Tweed Heads, Tweed Coast, Mullumbimby, Casino and Upper Clarence joined forces with teams from Wollongong, Dapto, OSU, Sutton, Bermagui and Batemans Bay to support QLD SES in the Beenleigh, Eagleby, Logan Central and Underwood areas.

A huge thank you to every volunteer who answered the call — your dedication makes all the difference. 💙🧡
