Making Queensland the most disaster resilient state in Australia
The Get Ready Queensland team and ambassador Johnathan Thurston have officially launched 2019 Get Ready Queensland Week (13-19 October).
As Queenslanders, we are accustomed to natural disasters and know all too well they can strike anywhere, and at any time, with little to no warning.
Congratulations to the finalists and winners announced at the 2019 Get Ready Queensland Resilient Australia Awards on Thursday 19 September.
The awards recognised projects that have helped Queensland communities better prepare for natural disasters and emergencies. The 2019 Get Ready Queensland Resilient Australia Awards were highly competitive with a record 34 entries across six categories.
It was great to see all of the innovative projects from across Queensland, working to build this state’s resilience to natural disasters.
The Queensland Government is continuing to support communities impacted by the historic monsoon flooding that devastated farmers, industry and individuals earlier this year.
The North and Far North Queensland Monsoon Trough State Recovery Plan 2019 – 2021 outlines the state’s long-term commitment to helping communities recover, rebuild and reconnect from the floods.
