The first step in being prepared is to have a Get Ready plan.

An emergency and evacuation plan will ensure everyone in your household knows exactly what to do if the worst happens. You might want to involve your neighbours in developing your plan - neighbours who are elderly or have special needs may need your assistance. Equally, neighbours may also provide assistance to your household if required.

Get Ready Queensland online household emergency and evacuation plan  

The online plan form below should take 10-15 minutes to complete and will be available for you to download, save and print once completed. It can be fully adapted to suit your household's circumstances.

You will need to complete the plan in one session as details entered will not be saved to return to later, so make sure you have all the relevant information.

For those that would prefer to complete their plan offline, a hard copy plan is also included in the Get Ready Queensland 3 steps to Get Ready booklet which is available to download.
