🌊 Preparing for Floods in Southeast Queensland 🌊

With the rainy season upon us, it's essential to be proactive and prepared for potential flooding. Here are some key steps to help keep you safe:

Create an Emergency Plan: Develop a family emergency plan that includes evacuation routes and meeting points. Make sure everyone knows what to do and where to go.

Emergency Kit: Assemble a flood emergency kit with essentials like bottled water, non-perishable food, a first-aid kit, flashlight, batteries, important documents, and any necessary medications.

Stay Informed: Monitor local weather updates and flood warnings. Sign up for alerts from the Bureau of Meteorology and your local council.

Protect Your Property: Move valuable items and important documents to higher ground. Consider using sandbags to block water entry and elevate electrical appliances.

Know Your Risks: Understand if your property is in a flood-prone area. Check your flood maps and consider flood insurance if you haven’t already.

Evacuation Plan: Know your local evacuation routes and have a plan for your pets as well. Keep your vehicle fuelled and ready to go.

Communication: Stay in touch with neighbors and community groups. Share information and assist each other where possible.
