It's important to stay informed and connected during a natural disaster. Now is the time to bookmark, sign up and save relevant alerts and warnings resources and services on your smart phone, tablet, laptop and/ or desktop so you can stay one step ahead.

 

Take action:

  • Download the Emergency+ app, the SES Assistance Qld app, the Red Cross First Aid app, and the Red Cross Register.Find.Reunite app, to get help when you need it

  • Download the BOM Weather app and the ABC Radio app to stay informed on the latest weather updates and warnings

  • Download the Queensland Digital Licence app so you always have some identification with you. 

  • Follow @QPS and @BOM_Qld on Instagram or X (formerly Twitter) for real-time updates during events (see our social media and radio page for a full list of accounts to follow)

  • Keep a battery-powered radio in your emergency kit (pre-program it to your local ABC radio station so you’re ready to go)

  • Sign up for your local council's flood alert system (you can sign up for Brisbane alerts here – or search for your local council and “flood alert” to find your local equivalent)

  • Exchange contact details with neighbours so you can share warnings and help keep each other safe
