ENERGEX storm safety warning

ENERGEX storm safety warning

21 February 2012

The Bureau of Meteorology has advised ENERGEX of dangerous storms heading for parts of South East Queensland including Brisbane City, Lockyer Valley, Moreton Bay, Ipswich City and Somerset.

The storm is likely to produce damaging wind and large hailstones. At this stage (1pm) ENERGEX does not have any storm-related power outages on the South East Queensland network.

ENERGEX is urging home and business owners to take a look around their properties and tidy up any loose items that may be blown into power infrastructure.

Items such as building materials and outdoor furniture can become dangerous missiles when left outside during high winds so where possible store them safely in a secure place.

ENERGEX is also encouraging people to ensure they have a torch with fresh batteries and keep a radio handy to monitor storm information.

ENERGEX emergency response crews are on standby and ready to respond to any interruptions caused by expected severe weather and will restore any power issues as soon as it is safe to do so.

ENERGEX asks south east Queenslanders to remain patient if they suffer a power interruption.  

If members of the public see any powerlines brought down or damaged they are urged to call the ENERGEX emergency line on 1319 62 and stay clear.
