Police from Moorooka Station will be joined by local Queensland Fire and Emergency Services officers for a free community information session in Tarragindi this month. Come along to learn about how you can prepare your property for the event of an emergency, such as a storm or bushfire.
When: Friday November 29, 6pm – 8pm

Purchase and test the effectiveness of gutter plugs.
Enclose open areas under decks and floors.
Install fine steel wire mesh screens on all windows, doors, vents and weep holes.
Point LPG cylinder relief valves away from the house.
Conduct maintenance checks on pumps, generators and water systems.
Seal all gaps in external roof and wall cladding.
