Australia’s weather agency, the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM), observes when a cyclone begins and ends. ARPC must declare a cyclone event within 24 hours of receiving the BoM’s notification.
The end of a claims period for a Declared Cyclone Event is 48 hours after the declared cyclone end date and time.
