ALL emergency service crews will be taken off the roads soon, which is why it is crucial for people to remain in their homes as the Cyclone Marcia hits Yeppoon, Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has warned.

There are currently 600 people at the Yeppoon cyclone shelter.
There are also evacuation centres at Yeppoon, including at the PCYC and St Brendan’s.
