Heads up Canberra, it's possible we could see thunderstorms in the Canberra region on Wednesday and Thursday. @BOM_ACT and ACT Emergency Services Agency is closely monitoring the weather situation. We know that some properties may have outstanding damage from last Friday's severe weather. In an emergency, volunteers from the ACT State Emergency Service make temporary repairs to keep everyone safe. After an incident, it's up to the homeowner or insurer to permanently repair the damage. By acting early and preparing your home or property, you can help prevent unnecessary calls to emergency services.

AFAC has released the Seasonal Bushfire Outlook for summer 2023. The #BushfireOutlook is a strong reminder to communities and businesses across the country to prepare for bushfire. See the Seasonal Bushfire Outlook for summer on the AFAC website: afac.com.au/auxiliary/publ…
