Heavy rainfall forecast for Canberra in coming days

The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) are predicting wet weather across Canberra over the coming days, including the possibility of heavy rainfall at times.

The start of the rain could start from as early as this afternoon, although the heaviest rain is expected tomorrow, 7 April, with the BOM forecasting between 40 and 60mm for the ACT.

During an emergency, the ACT State Emergency Service (ACTSES) will make temporary repairs and ensure the area is safe. This includes tarping roofs and making fallen trees safe on private land.

The ACTSES do not undertake permanent repairs, and it is your responsibility to ensure previous storm damage is fixed appropriately.

Keep an eye on www.bom.gov.au for weather updates and warnings.

For assistance during storms and floods, call the ACTSES on 132 500.

In a life-threatening emergency call Triple Zero (000).

Visit www.esa.act.gov.au for information on how to prepare your home for heavy rain.
