Two ACT State Emergency Service (ACTSES) crews responded to reports of a large fallen tree impacting three homes at the intersection of Hurley Street and Laseron Place in Mawson earlier this morning.

The fallen tree caused substantial roof damage to two of the properties and crews have worked to ensure the area is cleared and safe.

With strong winds expected to continue throughout the weekend, the ACTSES would like to remind the community to:

  • Move your car under cover or away from trees.
  • Secure or put away loose items around your house, yard and balcony.
  • Keep at least 8 metres away from fallen power lines or objects that may be energised, such as fences.
  • Stay indoors away from windows.

For emergency help in flood and storms, call the ACTSES on 132 500.
