Disaster season in the Whitsunday region runs from 1 November to 30 April. During this period, our region is at increased risk of cyclones, storms, floods and bushfires. Taking a few simple steps today to make sure you’re prepared can make all the difference in an emergency.
Start by preparing your home: clear gutters, secure loose items and check your property for risks. Create a household disaster plan so everyone knows what to do and where to go. Now is the time to also start prepping a survival kit with essentials like food, water, medications, important documents and a torch – just in case.
Being prepared early keeps you, your family and your community safer this disaster season.
