Toowoomba Regional Council’s Local Disaster Management Group (LDMG) is monitoring the rain event overnight (Friday, February 25, 2022) and across the weekend.
LDMG chair, Toowoomba Region Mayor Paul Antonio, said Council staff and emergency services representatives would keep a watching brief on the rain overnight and would respond to any emerging situation.
“Following a heavy thunderstorm around 10am today (February 25), Toowoomba city and most of the Region have experienced steady rain,” Mayor Antonio said.
“Falls up to 200mm have caused localised flooding and closed more than 80 Council-controlled roads.
“If the rain continues, we expect to see more road closures, especially in rural areas across the weekend.
“Please avoid travelling unless it is urgent. Our main concern is to ensure public safety.
