When it comes to extreme weather events in Queensland, it’s not a matter of ‘if’ but ‘when’.
Queensland is the most natural disaster impacted state in Australia, exposing our communities and infrastructure to repeated damage.
As Queenslanders, we understand the impacts from natural disasters can include such as transport delays, road closures, getting kids from school early, long lines at the petrol station or supermarket, and loss of power or internet connection.
And then there are really bad things like flood waters moving toward your house, a loved one unable to get home, and leaving behind pets during 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 to take the steps to protect what’s most important to you.
It’s easy to Get Ready in 3 simple steps.

Make a household severe weather emergency plan so your family knows what to do and who to contact in extreme weather. It takes just a few minutes and will give you peace of mind that your information is in one place.
Check out what you need - Grab a few extra items next time you are at the supermarket to make an emergency kit.
- This year we want Queensland to think about packing:
- Long life food and toiletries in case you can’t get to the shops
- Drinking water in case the water supply stops working
- Batteries, a torch and a radio in case the power goes out.
- These are the basics, but you can think about what items your family might use if you had to stay at home for three days.
