Plan to stay safe this disaster season Isaac Regional Council is urging residents to check their 'WHAT-IF' plan leading into disaster season.

Tropical Cyclone Debbie reminded us that extreme weather in Queensland is not an 'if' but a 'when', and planning ahead could save lives.

"Visit Get Ready Queensland’s website today https://getready.qld.gov.au for further ideas to assist you in being disaster ready.

Local Disaster Management Group Chair and Mayor Anne Baker said Queensland is at increased risk of natural disasters during November to April.

"As a community, if we each do a little, we all accomplish a lot. The more prepared we are, the faster we'll bounce back afterwards."

"Debbie taught us that natural disasters don’t discriminate when it comes to when and where they strike.

In the event of a disaster, visit the Bureau of Meteorology website for weather updates, contact the State Emergency Service (SES) on 132 500 for flood and storm assistance, and dial triple zero (000) for life-threatening emergencies.

“Get Ready Queensland Week prompts us to check our gardens are tidy, clean gutters and make sure insurances are up to date. “Now is the time to prepare a household emergency plan and put together your evacuation and emergency kit.
