Prepare Before a Cyclone Trim trees and de-nut coconut palms. Ensure that trees and branches are clear from your home and overhead powerlines. Do not attempt to clear trees from powerlines yourself - call Town Office for assistance. Speak to your family about the effects of cyclones and floods, and discuss the possibility of evacuation. Keep your car regularly fuelled. Be sure to have a First Aid Kit. Ensure that someone in the family has been trained in CPR and other First Aid. Have a good stock of tinned food for the family and any pets (eg. 3 days worth). Have alternative cooking equipment, e.g. a gas BBQ. Have a list of important phone numbers handy. Consider the special needs of family members who are disabled or elderly, as they will need more time to prepare and evacuate.
