It’s only a matter of time until Whitsunday experiences another cyclone, according to the
Whitsunday Disaster Management Group (WDMG), and the key for this coastal community is
to be prepared.
WDMG Chairman and Shire Mayor Mario Demartini said many people now living in Whitsunday may not have experienced the frightening event that is a cyclone, but he stated unequivocally “the Whitsundays is a cyclone zone”.
“Cyclone season officially begins on December 1,” he said.
Over the coming weeks the WDMG will release further information about preparing for
cyclones, and on December 1 will stage a cyclone information session at Centro Whitsunday
Shopping Centre. Further information - Whitsunday Shire Council --
