Disaster assistance has been extended to further support flood impacted residents and communities in Central, Southern and Western Queensland as the State’s flooding emergency continues to unfold.

Assistance is being provided through the jointly funded Commonwealth-State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA).

The @Get Ready Queensland team has partnered up with the @Bureau of Meteorology to officially launch a series of 3D disaster animations that graphically show how quickly weather events can become dangerous in Queensland.

These hyper-realistic videos place viewers at the centre of Queensland’s most frequent natural disasters - severe storms, cyclones and flooding – highlighting the risks of extreme weather.

Queensland communities can now apply for a share of $19.1 million in resilience and risk reduction funding to help them better prepare for future disasters through the Queensland Resilience and Risk Reduction Fund (QRRRF).
