Please be aware of:
🌊 Standing water and localised flooding.
🌳 Fallen branches and debris on the roads.
🚗 Difficult driving conditions and reduced visibility.

💙 Your safety comes first. Never attempt to drive through floodwater. If your journey becomes unsafe, stop somewhere safe and inform your team.
