It\u2019s all about being able to warn the public about what is coming their way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s also about being able to have earlier notice for those who may need to evacuate, and certainly those who may need assistance in evacuating, like those with poor mobility,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Visit <a href=\"http:\/\/goldenplains.vic.gov.au\/emergency\"><strong>goldenplains.vic.gov.au\/emergency<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IT\u2019S official, Shelford and Inverleigh are Golden Plains Shire\u2019s worst flood-prone areas, thanks to the Leigh River which flows through both townships.
