FURFURAL

Hello all, this may appear to be a really strange thing to put on the blog and I may get a bit of flack back over it..however..here goes....I have been more than aware that the furfural plant is a happening thing at the sugar mill and have been told and accepted that it was a great by product and good for the Proserpine Community..however when I recieved a print out from the Mill regarding Emergency Information, I got a bit nervous. Particularly as the studio is so close to the mill. The information sheet (which will only be given to people who attend one of the Furfural Meetings this week) says this:

If you are alerted by Proserpine Sugar Mill siren to an incident that can affect the local community, remember the following rules. By doing this you will help to improve your personal safety.
1. Siren: When you hear the siren

2. Go Inside: Close and seal windows and doors, shut off air conditioner and ventilation systems, take pets inside.

3. Stay Inside: Until the siren stops to inform the emergency is over or you have been informed that there is to be an evacuation.

4. All clear siren stops. Open up the house after the emergency is over.

DO NOT APPROACH THE SITE OF THE ACCIDENT AND KEEP THE STREETS AND ROADS FREE FOR THE FIRE BRIGADE, THE POLICE AND OTHER EMERGENCY WORKERS AND THEIR VEHICLES.

5. Evacuation: If the order is given by the Police to evacuate, Follow the directions given. Pack essentials such as any medication, reading glasses, wallet and drivers licence and lock you house on departing. If you are taking your car, see if any of your neighbours need a lift.

6. LEAVE IMMEDIATELY

As you can imagine this poses a number of questions for me and I will be asking same at the meeting tomorrow morning. If you are interested in attending, they will be held at various times this week.
Cheers and thanks Mrs Dx
