Storms
Storms can happen anywhere at anytime of the year and are the most frequent emergencies affecting Victorians. Storms can be accompanied by torrential rain, strong winds, large hailstones and lightning.
Storms may result in flash flooding, un roof buildings, damage trees and powerlines and can pose a significant safety risk to people, animals, households and businesses. Recent storms have resulted in hundreds of millions of dollars in damage.
