Media Release: The Hon Jill Hennessy MP, Minister for Health
A new world-leading thunderstorm asthma monitoring, prediction and alert system is now up and running, giving Victorians an early warning of possible epidemic thunderstorm asthma events this grass pollen season.
Marking the start of the grass pollen season, Minister for Health Jill Hennessy today launched the Andrews Labor Government’s new epidemic thunderstorm forecasting system to better predict and respond to large-scale emergencies such as thunderstorm asthma.
People with asthma or hay fever are particularly at risk of thunderstorm asthma, and for many it can be sudden, serious and life threatening.
