Local government and emergency services may also need to adjust resources and responses to ensure community safety.

The community is encouraged to stay updated on forecasts and heed any warnings issued by local authorities. Awareness and preparedness can help mitigate the adverse impacts of La Niña on the region's economy and quality of life.
