Victorians are being urged to keep enough supplies on hand for 72 hours ahead of a significant storm event, which is expected to cause flooding and power outages across the state.
The premier, Daniel Andrews, joined Emergency Management Victoria deputy commissioner, Chris Stephenson, and State Emergency Service chief operations officer, Tim Wiebusch, at the state control centre on Tuesday to warn those living in parts of the state to prepare for up to 100mm of rain in the coming days.
