Tasmania SES have responded to approximately 100 calls for help over the past three days during a powerful storm across the state.

Since Thursday, SES requests have ranged from helping to secure windows and roofing damaged from strong wind gusts, to clearing fallen trees and debris across roads and properties.

Powerful winds are expected to ease below warning thresholds this afternoon as they isolate to the far north east and east coast of the state.

Tasmania SES Acting Assistant Director Operations and Resources Chris Irvine said that while conditions continue to ease, SES personnel remain ready to help wherever they’re needed.

“Members of the public should take all precautions for their own personal safety and be aware of the potential for falling trees and branches,” he said.

“Take care if you need to be outside and keep an eye on children and neighbours to make sure everyone stays safe.”

Warnings for damaging or destructive winds have also been issued in South Australia, Victoria, NSW and the ACT.

It comes as a strong low-pressure system over the Southern Ocean has pushed a cold front over Tasmania and up towards the southeastern states on the mainland.

Severe weather warnings have been issued in five states.
