Disasters and Emergencies

In collaboration with our emergency services, Gympie Regional Council plays an important role in coordinating and managing disasters within the boundaries of the Gympie region. The following resources are provided to assist you – before, during and after - disasters, emergencies and major weather events.

Specific types of disasters are listed on the Get Ready Queensland website, where you can find information relating to storms, floods, cyclones and storm surges, bushfires, heatwaves, tsunamis, earthquakes, pandemics and landslides.

Three priority disaster types for the Gympie region are:
