The State Emergency Service (SES) issued a flash flood warning for the Flinders District yesterday, suspected to impact the area over the next couple of days.
Due to isolated heavy rain falls, the area’s creek systems may overflow, causing flowing water across roads at short notice. Even if it is not raining, there is still the potential for creeks to flood.
The SES will have free sandbags available on Tuesday, 4th October 2022 at the following locations:
Some locations will provide sand and/or help with filling sandbags, as shown in the table.
An SES ‘Sandbagging your home’ factsheet will be available from each of the locations, or can be downloaded from the SES website ses.sa.gov.au. The factsheet describes the correct method for filling, laying and disposing of sandbags and an instructional video covering the same information can be viewed on the SES website.
