00:06a week after storms battered Central Australia.
00:10We know from the history over the past two weeks that some of these weather events you don't see coming
00:15over the long term horizon.
00:17They happen quickly, they happen fast and there's only one antidote to that and that is to be prepared.
00:23The Bureau of Meteorology warning El Nino could bring more risk.
00:27We do have warm sea surface temperatures around Australia which are conducive to wet weather events
00:35including severe thunderstorms, tropical cyclones and tropical lows.
00:40The Territory's Power and Water Corporation urging residents to stock up on supplies in case of power cuts.
00:47It's important that our community are prepared with at least 72 hours of food and water.
00:54The NT government has announced a $3.2 million upgrade to the triple zero call centre here in Berrimah.
01:00It also says it will form contractor teams to repair infrastructure more quickly.
01:05This is an effort to cut red tape to make sure we're ready to go if there's an emergency and
01:10roads are cut or bridges are cut.
01:11Hoping the wet season doesn't continue as it started.
01:14Hoping the wet season is south to the west.
