After an emergency in Kuranda over the weekend, Emergency Services are urging the community to be safe. Flash flooding happens when too much rain falls too fast for too long, and the ground doesn’t absorb all the water. Flash flooding can be within a few minutes, but usually within a few hours and can happen well away from where the rain fell. Never drive your car into water of unknown depth. Remember: If its flooded, forget it.Have something happening in your community, and you want to talk about it, give us a call on 1800 422 416. Or Give us a text on 0457 140 550!We would also like to thank the Community Broadcasting Foundation and National Indigenous Australians Agency for their support here at BBM 98.7FM.Make sure to tune into National Talk Black via NIRS – National Indigenous Radio Service every Monday-Friday from 11am-12pm (QLD Time).
