Thousands of emergency services personnel will be door-knocking across the State this weekend, aiming to connect Queenslanders with people who don’t usually call until the worst happens.

During Operation Knock Knock, residents will be able to ask professionals about their local risks, how to prepare for disaster, and who to contact within the neighbourhood in case of an emergency.

Fire and Emergency Services Minister Craig Crawford said the initiative will provide an opportunity to ‘check in’ with the community before disaster strikes.
