Why do Queensland students need to Get Ready?
Extreme weather is a part of life in Queensland. In fact, Queensland has more natural disasters than any other state in Australia.
We can’t change the weather but we can be prepared. Research shows people who are prepared can better care for themselves, their families and properties during a disaster which means they recover faster. It's vital children are part of the conversation about preparing for disasters and play a role in helping their household get ready.
The activities are a great way to start the conversation with your kids about what weather they might face this disaster season and how they can help.
