The Queensland Police Service (QPS) is advising all southeast Queensland residents that all emergency alerts issued in the last 48 hours that are relevant to Tropical Cyclone Alfred, have been cancelled.
Seven emergency alerts were issued over the course of Thursday and Friday, March 6 and 7, advising residents across Redlands, Moreton, Gold Coast and Brisbane to take shelter from the approaching severe weather system.
Now that the system has downgraded, the immediate threat of destructive winds has passed and all alerts relating to taking shelter have been cancelled.
Local government councils have several Watch and Acts and Advice warnings current for residents between Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast to monitor conditions and stay informed.
Most recently, an Advice Warning was issued for the Southern Downs Regional Council area advising that the Killarney water supply has been impacted by the severe weather and residents are urged to conserve water and cease non-essential water use. An emergency alert was also issued for this warning.
The QPS reminds residents that while the immediate threat of a cyclone is over, there is still a significant amount of rainfall expected over the coming days which could result in flash flooding and riverine flooding.
For this reason, emergency services are urging all residents to keep up to date with the latest warnings, understand your risk and respond appropriately.
