The State Emergency Service (SES) advises that, as a result of the recent high rainfall, flows in the
River Murray are increasing. Predicted water levels are likely to cause minor flooding in the shack areas between Cadell and Mannum, according to SA Police.
Shack areas that are likely to be affected include Morgan, Brenda Park, Scotts Creek, Walker Flat
and Bowhill.
Flows into South Australia are likely to exceed sixty giga litres per day (60 GL/Day) in two to three weeks’ time and are expected to remain high for several weeks.
Owners of shacks in these locations should follow their Emergency Flood Plan now.
* Prepare your family and property for flooding in these areas.
* Move items of value to a safe place.
* Never walk, ride or drive through floodwater, including water affected causeways.
* Be aware that large debris may be carried downstream and may pose a hazard to water
based activities.
* Regularly monitor river levels in your local area to avoid becoming isolated by floodwaters.
* Camp on higher ground away from the river bank.
For SES assistance during a flood phone 132 500. If the matter is life threatening call triple zero.
