WA residents warned about storm season

WEST Australians are being warned to prepare their homes for destructive winter storms.

Monday marks the start of Storm Awareness Week, when people are reminded to clear their gutters and trim tree branches around their property before winter officially begins.

Emergency Services Minister Joe Francis said last week's storms across the state were a timely reminder of the havoc severe weather could cause.

"The devastating impact of severe weather can often be underestimated because most storms are short lived and major damage only occurs in small areas," he said.

Between May and October last year, there were 87 storm-related incidents across southern WA, Mr Francis said.

Department of Fire and Emergency Services personnel and volunteers responded to more than 880 calls for help from people affected by roof damage, flooding and fallen trees.
