When it comes to severe weather in Queensland, it's not a matter of "if", it's "when".
Queensland has more severe weather than any other state or territory in Australia, and natural disasters affect thousands of us every year. Sometimes that means the everyday stuff: transport delays, road closures, picking the kids up from school early, a long line at the servo or supermarket, or losing power and internet for a while. Sometimes it's far more serious: floodwater moving towards your house, a loved one who can't get home, or having to leave a pet behind during an evacuation.
You can't control the weather or when the next disaster will hit Queensland, but you can be aware and prepared. Get Ready Queensland helps you take the steps to protect what matters most to you.
Why being prepared matters
When you get ready before a disaster, you'll know what to do and have what you need to act quickly and stay safe. Communities that are well prepared and supported before a disaster are more resilient and recover faster.
Having a plan for severe weather helps keep your family and your possessions safe, and reduces the impact on your everyday life.
