Moreton Bay Regional Council Mayor, Allan Sutherland, said council and the Queensland and Australian Governments had invested $78,000 in the Community Emergency Management Awareness Project.
“It’s a new campaign designed to reinforce the need for all of us to be prepared for Mother Nature’s worst,” Mayor Sutherland said.
“Over coming months we’ll be running information sessions at Moreton Bay Region Libraries with plenty of useful tips on being storm smart.
“We’ve formed an alliance with 612 ABC radio, 99.7FM and Caboolture’s 101.5FM as the primary sources of breaking news and information in the event of a local emergency situation.
“It’s a recognition that arming our region with the information it needs during an emergency is crucial for the well being and safety of the community.
“Already a range of displays, magnets and flyers are being used to promote the key sources important emergency information, as well as an interactive learning tool called Stormwatchers in local schools.
“Everybody should be aware and prepared, particularly during the storm season.”
