The Community Recovery Queensland page (the page) is managed by the Department of Families, Seniors, Disability Services and Child Safety (the department). The page shares information about financial and support services for people impacted by disasters and emergencies. Grant applications

Running late? Trying to get home?

No destination is worth risking your life for.

Turn around and find another way. If it's flooded, forget it.

✔️ Do you live within a few kilometres of bushland?
✔️ Does your local area have a history of bushfire?
✔️ Do you have trees and shrubs within 20 metres of your home?
✔️ Do you live along the coast near scrub?
✔️ Do you live on a farm or near paddocks?
✔️ Do you travel through the bush to get home every day?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are at a heightened risk of bushfire. It’s time to get prepared.

Our team was proud to participate in the Brisbane City Council Emergency Services Expo last Saturday, joining emergency services, community organisations and the Brisbane community for a day focused on preparedness, resilience and community connection.

Coinciding with Get Ready Queensland Week, the Expo provided a great opportunity to encourage Queenslanders to take simple steps to prepare for severe weather, natural disasters and other emergencies. Our team enjoyed sharing information about disaster preparedness, recovery support services and the assistance available before, during and after an event.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to have a chat, ask questions and learn more about our services.

Working together, we can create safer and more resilient Queensland communities.

Power outages happen fast during severe weather. Keep spare batteries and a charged power bank in your emergency kit so you're never left in the dark, or without a way to call for help.
