Date Time Townsville Local Disaster Management Group moved to ‘Stand Up’ The Townsville Local Disaster Management Group (TLDMG) has moved to ‘Stand Up’ as Tropical Cyclone (TC) Kimi tracks towards the coast. The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) is currently forecasting that TC Kimi will stay off the coast north of Townsville, however there is still uncertainty about the movement of the system. Chair of the TLDMG Mayor Jenny Hill said the group had moved to ‘Stand Up’ to ensure that if conditions changed, the city is best-placed to respond. “The TLDMG is monitoring TC Kimi closely as we all know how unpredictable and how rapidly these weather events can change,” Cr Hill said.
