Before anything else, a reminder that you can call the SES on 132 500 and in an emergency, please call 000.
My office at Stones Corner (2/409 Logan Road) is open to anyone who needs power to charge their phone, snacks or just a place to hang out for the next bit.
Similarly, if you’re around West End, Amy MacMahon, Greens MP for South Brisbane’s office has power and you can head there to charge your phone or other devices (1/90 Vulture Street, West End.)
EVACUATION AND SUPPORT CENTRE
There’s an evacuation centre set up at Sleeman Sports Complex, Cnr Old Cleveland Rd & Tilley Rd, Chandler. The centre has a capacity for 276 people and pets are welcome – apparently there is a specialist team to assist with pets.
POWER OUTAGES
On the inner southside there are power outages in West End, Highgate Hill, Hawthorne, Woolloongabba, Norman Park, Fairfield, Yeronga and South Brisbane - you can find more information here. Sadly, the latest update is that some of these may last for days:
