Community engagement and education material (WP1)
On this page:
Purpose
The $2 million Community engagement and education material (WP1) is part of the Flood Risk Management Program (FRMP) - a component of the jointly funded Australian and Queensland Government (50:50) 2021-22 Rainfall and Flooding - Exceptional circumstances Category C and D funding package approved under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA). The Community engagement and education material (WP1) aims to:
- increase the resilience of Queensland communities to future flooding events
- ensure communities understand and manage their flood risk.
As part of this work package, QRA will establish a research and focus group to design a targeted Get Ready campaign. The targeted get ready campaign will then be developed along with communication and engagement resources for councils and community groups to increase community engagement and awareness of flood risks and available flood warning information. The Get Ready campaign includes engagement with eligible councils to identify the need for the design, development and implementation of campaign materials, communication resources and community engagement and awareness activities across the regions.

Total $2 million for the Community engagement and education material (WP1) is comprised of the following funding components for delivery agencies:
