Take flood warnings for Tallebudgera and Currumbin creeks seriously. When floodwater is coming up, phone the SES on 132 500 for help. Ahead of time, look up your address on the City’s flood maps. The City notes they shouldn’t be relied on during an event, so follow the official warnings while it’s happening. Owners will want their insurer involved early. If you rent, tell your property manager as soon as it’s safe.

Once you’re safe, work out where the water got in and if it has stopped. If creek water came inside, tell us how deep it got. Look over the floors, walls and contents to see what’s wet. Tell us if you own the home, and if your insurer has been called. Give us the okay, and a local restoration business that works in Elanora will get your details.
