Council disaster dashboards
Check your local council website or disaster dashboard. No one knows your local area like your local council. They are the first organisation Queenslanders should turn to for information and direction at the time of a natural disaster. Connect directly with your local council to find out which social channels are active and start following them today.
Tune into local radio stations
You can also pre-program your local ABC radio station into your preferred digital music service and on your battery operated radio, so that you can tune into warnings if the internet goes down. The ABC Radio website will assist you to find your local ABC radio station or use the ABC Radio National frequency finder to find all available local stations. Assistance for non-English speakers is also available.
