I'm lovin' it!

Our mates from Townsville SES Unit Qld State Emergency Service had an absolute blast last week, as you can see. Before they took off, they hooked Moggill Group up with a signed bucket hat. Cheers guys!

Our visiting teams were lucky enough to have a visit from Macca the SES therapy dog this morning!
They LOVED meeting him, and as you can see, he loved it too 🐾❤️
Thank you to Macca (and his human Selina) for coming out to Moggill and putting smiles on faces.

⛈️ SEQ Storms This Weekend – Stay Alert, Don’t Panic

Storm activity is expected across South East Queensland this weekend, with potential for heavy rain, strong winds, hail, and flash flooding in some areas.

💡 No need to panic — just be prepared:
✅ Secure loose outdoor items (furniture, umbrellas, toys).
🚗 Park cars under cover and away from trees.
🔋 Charge phones and powerbanks, and have a torch and battery radio handy in case of power outages.
💧 Never drive through floodwater – If it’s flooded, forget it!
🐾 Bring pets inside and check on neighbours if conditions worsen.

🧡 Our SES volunteers have been on the ground since Sunday, responding to calls for help and assisting communities affected by recent storms. They’ll continue working hard through the weekend.
If you see them out and about, please take a moment to wave, say thank you, or offer a kind word — it means a lot.

Wet Weather Update – Stay Proactive, Not Reactive

We’re continuing to experience an extended period of wet and mild weather this May. With forecasts showing more rain to come, now is the time to stay calm, stay prepared, and act early.

🧠 Don’t Panic – Be Proactive
While we can’t control the weather, we can control how we prepare. Taking small steps now will help prevent bigger problems later.

✅ What Proactive Looks Like:
* Check your gutters and drains before the next downpour.
* Secure outdoor items like bins and garden furniture.
* Move valuables off the floor in low-lying areas or garages.
* Speak with neighbours – check in, offer help, share tips.
* Know where to get help – save SES (132 500) and BOM alerts in your phone.

🚫 What Reactive Looks Like:
* Waiting until it’s raining to clear the gutters.
* Rushing to the shops during a storm warning.
*Panicking over forecasts rather than using them to plan.

🧰 Preparedness = Peace of Mind
* Taking a few minutes today to prepare can save stress and property tomorrow. Remember: it’s not about panic – it’s about being ready and looking after ourselves and each other.

👋 Checking on Neighbours
* Reach Out – Knock on their door, call, or send a message to check if they need help.
* Stay Connected – Set up a communication plan in case of emergency.
