Get Ready Queensland

Natural disasters impact thousands of Queenslanders every year. Being prepared and knowing what to do is the best way you can protect your family. Get Ready Queensland will help you to get ready in 3 easy steps.

Fraser Coast Emergency Guide

Council has prepared a Fraser Coast Emergency Guide (PDF) which includes a set of handy guides to assist and enable you to complete your own emergency preparations.

The active preparation and participation of all in our community is key to our resilience, survival and collective ability to recover.

Each year from November to April our region is in the acknowledged storm and cyclone season. It is important to remain vigilant during this period and be prepared for emergency situations. Download the Maryborough flooding booklet (PDF) for more information.
