Are You Cyclone Ready?

Whitsunday Regional Council will be informing Whitsunday locals how to prepare for the upcoming disaster season at their annual Get Cyclone Ready.

Storm season starts on November 1 and the Whitsunday Regional Council want to encourage people to come to their events in Airlie Beach, Bowen, Proserpine and Collinsville to learn how to prepare for cyclone season.

   • Airlie Beach Markets
   • Bowen Markets
   • Proserpine
   • Collinsville

The events in Airlie Beach and Bowen will be live streamed.

At the events people will be able to ask various emergency services questions in order to get ready.

Most excitingly, people that fill out a community resilience survey go in a draw to win a generator.
