The communities living in Victoria are on high alert when there is a deluge predicted by the meteorologists. The worst conditions are expected in northeast Victoria. Incident control centres have been established in many regions and warnings are given out too. People are afraid that the downpour will melt the snow which later flows into the river, aggravating the situation. Besides that, potential victims are asked to 'quarantine' themselves from the floodwater as it can jeorpadise their lives. The businessmen which might be affected are also moving their inventories to higher ground. The forecast flood is the first since the fires in 2006. Furthermore, people are also advised to stay away from trees which limbs may be weakened by previous fire. The flood water may cause them to fall. Lastly, the drivers and motorists are discouraged to drive through roads immersed in water. They should keep watch on strong winds, flash flood and slippery roads.
