Cleaning up after a flood
We will all have some clean up to do over the coming weeks after the massive rain event Townsville and surrounding towns have experienced.
Please take care and ensure you take the following procautions:
•Avoiding contact with soil or muddy water.
• Wearing closed in shoes and gloves while cleaning up or working outside
• Wearing a facemask if hosing down mud or cleaning mould.
• Washing any wounds, applying antiseptic then a waterproof dressing and keeping the wound out of dirt and water.
Seek medical advice if you become unwell.
