We dive into a press conference addressing the impending Tropical Cyclone Alfred's threat to Queensland. Authorities urge residents to prepare for potential impacts like flooding, storm surge, and damaging winds. Island communities and low-lying coastal areas are prioritised for preparedness. The conference stresses the importance of staying informed through official channels and community support. Essential services, infrastructure, and supermarket supplies are also being managed to mitigate the cyclone's effects. Schools will remain open and updates regarding closures will be given the day before.
