There are many risks that impact our community from Cyclones, Storms, Floods, Bush Fires, House Fires and Power Outages. Have you got your emergency plan in place? ... If you would like some assistance in creating a plan or know some who may need assistance, message our friendly team at OneLife NQ. For further resources there are a number of websites to assist in disaster education: Mackay.qld.gov.au/emergency Qfes.qld.gov.au/community-safety The Emergency Action Guides can be obtained from our local council. This guide will assist you to prepare for such events and to protect yourself, your family, pets and home!
