Our incredible volunteers are still out braving the cold and wet conditions, responding to multiple reports of trees down across roads and other storm-related incidents.

If you're travelling this evening, please take care, drive to the conditions, and remember to slow to 40km/h when passing emergency vehicles displaying flashing lights. Stay alert and stay safe. 🚨🌧️🌳

All smiles despite the wild weather! 😁🌧️

Strong winds brought down this large tree at Navigators this afternoon.

With windy conditions expected to continue into the evening, our volunteers remain ready to respond 🧡
