The state government is launching “get ready Queensland week” this week in preparation for the Summer natural disaster season ahead.
The efforts aim to increase Queenslanders’ preparedness for the upcoming wet season through three household steps: understanding risks, making an emergency plan, and packing an emergency kit.
Heading into Summer, the Bureau of Meteorology says Queensland can expect an average to “slightly above average” cyclone season, as warm waters in the north bring high rainfall.
