4BC has been contacted by numerous listeners regarding the safety of the homeless community as Tropical Cyclone Alfred looms.

CEO of Micah Projects, Karyn Walsh, told Sofie Formica on 4BC Afternoons, "We're trying to really put all our energy into getting motel accommodation. Because that's the safest thing that people have a room in their own space, and we're working with the Department of Housing to make that happen."

"Helping people pack up their tents, helping people, we've got a place where we're storing people's belongings that needs, sort of packing them, wrapping them up and making sure they don't lose things," Ms Walsh continued.
