Every region across Queensland is part of a locally-led and regionally-coordinated blueprint to strengthen disaster resilience. Delivery of Queensland's Regional Resilience Strategies is a commitment under the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) Sendai Framework.

The 2021-22 Southern Queensland Floods State Recovery and Resilience Plan 2022-24 (the Plan) aims to inform decision-makers and the public of the role the state government, local governments and communities will play in recovery from the events, and outline improved resilience outcomes for the people who live in the region.

These guidelines outline Queensland's two disaster relief and recovery arrangements: the DRFA and the State Disaster Relief Arrangements (SDRA), and should be used for events that occur from 1 July 2021 onwards.

The Queensland Strategy for Disaster Resilience 2022-2027 (QSDR) promotes a systems approach to resilience that connects with a range of agencies and sectors to deliver improved outcomes for Queensland.
