Tropical Cyclone Alfred: Stay Safe & Prepare, Queensland
Tropical Cyclone Alfred, currently a Category Two system, is moving towards Queensland’s southeast coast and is expected to intensify before making landfall on Thursday night. As of 7 AM AEST on Wednesday, Alfred was located about 425 km east of Brisbane, moving westward at approximately 11 km/h.
While the system lacks the thick convective cloud typically seen in tropical cyclones due to dry air intrusion and wind shear, it still poses a significant threat with damaging winds, heavy rainfall, and potential flash flooding.
Businesses should prepare for possible power disruptions.
Even short-term power disruptions can have lasting consequences, which is why preventative planning is key. Ensuring backup power systems are functional now can help avoid operational risks when the cyclone arrives.
