Know your risk

Everyone's disaster risk is different. Some natural disasters such as cyclones, floods and fire are largely determined by your location. Other hazards such as pandemic and heatwave can happen to anyone at any time. It's important to know what your personal disaster risks are so that you can be prepared. Being ready will help reduce the  impact of a disaster on yourself, your loved ones, home, family, finances and business.

Having an emergency kit stocked and ready is Step 3 to getting ready.

Queensland's extreme weather can cause your home to lose power (electricity), water and gas. You also may not be able to get to a supermarket or pharmacy for supplies. Prepare an emergency kit and store it somewhere safe so you have the things you need when the weather turns bad.
