Severe weather update – 28 February 9am

Flooded and closed roads

Our main message this morning is STAY HOME

We have life threatening flash flooding occurring across the entire City. We issued an Emergency Warning this morning for the Tallebudgera and Currumbin Valleys because this the most impacted area.

We also have flooding in the Northern suburbs along the Albert and Logan River.

We currently have evacuation assembly points open. At Reedy Creek Waste & Recycling Centre and Ormeau Community Centre. Domestic pets are permitted at evacuation assembly points.

The Roads are not safe. We now have roads closed across the region.

The best thing is to seek shelter with friends and family where possible.

Sandbagging stations are open 6am to 6pm today however PLEASE ONLY go there if it is safe to do so.

Stay away from waterways, flooded areas and storm channels – they’re not a place to play today. There’s debris around and you never know what might be underneath the water.

Remember – if it’s flooded forget it. Stay out of floodwaters.
