Who to Call

Radio stations first — warnings travel by radio here — then verified emergency numbers, the council, health care and the wildlife authority.

Numbers checked against official or station sources on 12 June 2026. Where we could not verify a number, we list the website or the place instead — a wrong emergency number is worse than none.

In a flood, move first

If water is rising, get to higher ground and alert your neighbours before reaching for a phone. Flood warnings travel by radio here — keep one on during the rains.
