Rehabilitation meets resilience 🛠️

Through a partnership with Queensland Corrective Services, low-security prisoners are rolling up their sleeves to help Queensland communities get ready and bounce back following disasters.

From sandbagging ahead of a cyclone to cleaning up after a flood, these work camps show up for our SES and rural fire brigades exactly when they need extra hands.

It's community service that builds skill and contributes to resilience. Everyone wins!

Lessons from Cyclone Yasi 🌪️

Cyclone Yasi was one of the most powerful storms to hit Queensland, leaving a lasting impact on communities in the tropics.

It taught us valuable lessons about preparation, resilience, and recovery.

Now is a great time to reflect on how ready we are if a cyclone heads our way?

Playing in floodwater = swimming in sewage 💩

Floodwater isn't just water, it's full of bacteria, chemicals and hidden hazards.

Our disaster expert breaks down why kids (and adults) should never walk, drive or play in floodwater.

When in doubt, remember: if it’s flooded, forget it.

Bushfire embers can travel kilometres ahead of a fire front, and they don't need much to catch. A gutter full of leaves, twigs or other debris is one of the easiest ways for embers to ignite your roof.

Strengthening your home against bushfire means looking beyond a quick clean. Clearing gutters and downpipes regularly is a good start, but for real resilience, consider upgrading to non-combustible gutters and gutter guards, and check for debris build-up along ridge lines, valleys and roof penetrations too.

Bushfires move fast, and they don't just threaten homes. Your pets and livestock need a plan too.

Would you know your risk of bushfire? Do you know how to keep your animals safe if a bushfire hit tomorrow?

🏠 Does your roof need some love before the cyclone season rolls around again?

What's holding your roof down from underneath matters just as much as what's on top. Ask your roofer about:

✅️ Replacing rusted or worn roof sheeting and screws
✅️ Swapping out split or damaged battens
✅️ Upgrading batten-to-roof frame connections from nails to screws or straps
✅️ Strengthening roof-to-wall connections with straps or bolts, not just nails

These upgrades help your roof stay put when cyclone-force winds hit.
