SES crews attended three call outs for fallen trees in the Loddon Mallee region this morning.
Statewide, the SES received more than 180 requests for assistance since midnight last night.
A damaging wind warning remains in place today as a stronger cold front moves across Victoria early today as an associated deep low pressure system moves across Tasmania.
Damaging winds around 60 to 80 km/h with peak gusts of 100 to 120km/h are forecast for all districts this morning.
The State Emergency Service advises that people should:
- Move vehicles under cover or away from trees;
- Secure or put away loose items around your house, yard and balcony;
- Keep clear of fallen power lines;
- Don't drive, ride or walk through flood water;
- Keep clear of creeks and storm drains;
- Beware of fallen trees or debris on the road.
