June 2010 . . Be Safe, Be Prepared
Natural disasters like bushfires, floods and severe storms can cost millions of dollars and cause serious disruption to communities.
Moreton Bay Regional Council Mayor Allan Sutherland has urged local residents to ensure they’re prepared and know what to do in an emergency.
"Council is hosting 12 emergency information sessions in local libraries from Arana Hills to Woodford next month to help prepare the Moreton Bay region for emergency situations," Mayor Sutherland said.
"We can’t control the weather but we can be prepared for the consequences of nature’s fury.
"The emergency information sessions in local libraries will help to arm residents with practical tips for preparing your home and family for evacuations and outages as a result of natural disasters like storms, flooding and bushfires.
"We’ll have Police, the Queensland Fire and Rescue Service, the SES and Emergency Management Queensland on hand to answer your questions on staying safe.
"It’s a one hour information session and it could be a life saver."
Emergency information sessions will be held on:
08 June Redcliffe Library from 1-2pm
09 June Arana Hills Library from 10-11am
