South Burnett Regional Council has reminded residents that Get Ready Queensland Week will be running from October 6-12 … a time to take steps to prepare your family and property against disasters.
This year’s theme is “Weather doesn’t plan, but you can”.
Research shows people who are prepared for severe weather recover faster than those who rely solely on outside help.
Get Ready Queensland has 3 Steps To Get Ready:
- Understand Your Risk – The impact of extreme weather is different for everyone. Learn about what can happen where you live and how it could affect your family.
- Make A Plan (2.1Mb PDF) – Make a household emergency plan so your family knows what to do and who to contact in extreme weather. It only takes a few minutes and will give you peace of mind that your information is in one place.
- Pack A Kit (112kb PDF) – Grab a few extra items next time you are at the supermarket to make an emergency kit.
Get Ready Queensland has also just launched a new online severe weather emergency planning tool to make it easier for Queenslanders to Get Ready.
The South Burnett Regional Council will be posting messages on their Facebook page about how to get prepared this disaster season.
