Cyclone support

The cyclone season is from November to April. Active monsoon periods are the most likely time for development of cyclones. The new construction standards and building codes post Cyclone Tracy and annual public awareness campaigns ensure Darwin is now a safe place to live. Community cyclone shelters are available if required and brochures and pamphlets with step-by-step advice are readily available and actively promoted.
