 Good morning. I'm Assistant Commissioner Peter Martin, the Assistant Commissioner responsible for Metropolitan North Region of the Queensland Police Service and as part of my roles, I'm also the District Disaster Coordinator for the Brisbane area and that includes the Brisbane City Council area and also Redlands City Council as well. This briefing is current as of Monday the 31st of January 2011 and current as of 1140 a.m. Over the last couple of days, we've been monitoring the progress of ex-tropical cyclone, Antony. Antony overnight crossed the Queensland coast and immediately formed a rain depression that has caused very significant winds and some localised weather events such as localised flooding, roads cut and some very minor damage. But we've been monitoring the progress of tropical cyclone, Yazi, that that we've been watching since the latter part of last week and over the last 12 hours or so that system is now steadily moving from the Fiji area in the Coral Sea progressively east, sorry west, toward the Queensland coast. At the present time, as a result of a briefing received a short time ago, that Yazi is moving in a direction consistent with the Queensland coast, it's 2,000 kilometres away and is moving in the vicinity of about 30 kilometres an hour or so. This is a very significant tropical cyclone event and based upon the current predictions is likely to impact the Queensland coast at an unknown location sometime around the latter part of Wednesday afternoon evening to the early hours of Thursday. Now naturally enough, cyclones are incredibly unpredictable events and we're monitoring the situation as best as we possibly can, but the advice that we have received at this particular juncture indicates that it could possibly make landfall somewhere at the coast in the area of approximately towns for. But as I indicated before, cyclones are inherently unreliable, but we're monitoring the situation. But certainly for those of us that are in the Brisbane area, it's a timely reminder that we are not immune from cyclones. We do live in the tropics and the subtropics and equally cyclones can impact the southeast corner of Queensland. They can impact and our history shows that they can impact upon us directly or they can impact upon us indirectly as a result of a significant weather pattern, including increased rain that can occur within the context of a cyclonic event. So this is also a good time to remind the citizens of Brisbane and the Redlands area to not be complacent, to make sure that they do some very simple things and that is to make sure that they have torches, to make sure that their torches have batteries, to have a radio that has batteries, to make sure that the home is provisioned with things like first aid equipment and what have you and to make sure that they're alert to the bulletins that are put out by the Bureau of Meteorology and other reliable government sources, including the Queensland Police Service. Some other general precautions as well and that is to make sure that motor vehicles, that they have fuel in their motor vehicles and to make sure that their home is reasonably provisioned with respect to food, water and the basic essentials, such as their medications, those sorts of things. This is not a time to be alarmed, it's certainly a time to be a precaution in terms of making sure that those very simple messages are heated. I'd also like to remind people that in an event, such as a cyclone or other storm, simple messages such as down power lines are flooding in local causeways, rivers and low lying roads and making sure that people not enter those water courses and to make sure that people don't drive through flooded waterways are always very simple messages, but also other things such as we've seen significant water inundation across the greater Brisbane area and in fact right across the state of Queensland. So high winds with respect to large trees, the risk of those trees falling over or branches falling is something that people need to be alert to as well. So I guess my simple messages are one of being informed and being alert, taking reasonable precautions with respect to your safety, the safety of your family and your general community and I'm sure that we'll all get through this event as best as we possibly can, but to make sure that you're constantly alert to the messaging put out by reliable government sources. Thank you.
