Premium Content BUSINESSES on the Northern Rivers are taking different actions to prepare for possible flooding. With significant rainfall over the weekend, businesses are beginning to action their flood plan in case of an emergency. Melinda Turner from Lismore s Shoes on Magellan purchased a truck to ensure she is able to keep her stock safe. My flood plan is I ve got the keys to a truck, I drive in and it takes two hours and I just empty the whole shop and place it in the truck and go to higher ground, Ms Turner said. Even before 2017, I ve been here for 25 years and I know Lismore floods so it is no surprise to me that things go under, so just having a business here, in 2017 I just took everything out and this year the same … I just thank my lucky stars that it is once in a blue moon that I have to do it, Ms Turner said.
