Due to today’s severe weather conditions, Tasmania Police urges the public to reconsider any non-essential outdoor activities, especially those involving watercraft or remote areas.

These sorts of weather conditions impact our ability to conduct search and rescue response, with high winds preventing helicopter operations.

Please reconsider any high-risk activities, including boating or hiking, and make choices that prioritise your safety and the safety of others.

Stay informed, stay safe, and help emergency services by making responsible choices.
