00:00Reinforcements arrive in Broome.
00:07Ready to deal with the aftermath of whatever severe tropical cyclone Hayley brings.
00:11There is a very high potential for damage. We are going to see structures that will be
00:16damaged by this event, unfortunately, and we've got people in place ready to respond
00:20as soon as the system passes.
00:22As SES and urban search and rescue teams got in position and ready,
00:26evacuation centres in Broome began to fill.
00:29Elders from the remote Indigenous community of Djarajan not taking any chances.
00:34It was windy and old but it stopped now and it's still more calm, yeah.
00:39They were a bit upset that they had to leave their houses but they know it's the right thing.
00:44While there's relief for those in the relative safety of Broome,
00:47there's nervousness from businesses directly in the path.
00:52The Signet Bay Pearl Farm, no stranger to severe weather, but it doesn't make it any easier.
00:58We're certainly well practiced at cyclone prep.
01:01I mean, we really spend five or six months a year dealing with anywhere between sort of
01:07four or five or six or seven of these coming close enough to us to actually pack everything away.
01:13What will be left when they return?
01:15Still unclear.
01:17Nope.
01:18No know установ After ague
01:31that has been challenged.
01:33The Signet Bay Pearl Farm is Becca.
