Pilbara TAFE will return to normal services once the 'All Clear' is advised by the SES.
Blue Alert - A cyclone has formed and may affect the area within 48 hours.
Yellow Alert - A cyclone is moving closer and appears inevitable.
Red Alert - A cyclone is imminent.
In the event of any emergency, follow all instructions of Pilbara TAFE staff and/or emergency services personnel.
