Disaster Resources
-
Having an emergency plan is an important step to prepare for, survive, and cope with emergencies. For your emergency plan to work:
- Everyone living in your home need to know where the emergency plan is kept.
- Involve everyone that lives with you in preparing your emergency plan.
- Practice your emergency plan every few months to make sure everyone knows what to do if an emergency happens.
-
- For life threatening, critical or serious situations dial 000.
- Listen to the radio for further advice.
- Contact the SES (132 500) for assistance with flood and storm damage.
- Visit the Queensland Government website and our Disaster Dashboard for more updates.
