Get Ready Week 6th October to 12th October 2025

Next date: Wednesday, 08 October 2025 | 12:00 PM to Friday, 31 October 2025 | 12:00 AM

Why Get Ready Week Matters

Queenslanders know that it's not a matter of if severe weather hits - but when. We've seen how a summer storm can cut power for days, how a cyclone can isolate communities, or how flash flooding can make roads dangerous in minutes.

Make a plan now so you are ready when severe weather is affecting your community. Make your severe weather emergency plan online today.

While you are at it, take time during Get Ready Queensland Week to take all 3 steps to Get Ready.

• Know your risk
• Make a plan, and 
• Pack an emergency kit.

You can also have a conversation with your family and neighbours about being prepared - it can take minutes but make all the difference. It's about protecting what matters most- your home, your pets, and the people you love.

How you can get involved

Here are a few ways to join in:

• Check in with your local Council - see what events are planned in your area.
• Follow Get Ready Queensland on Facebook and Instagram- we'll share highlights and tips throughout the week.
• Make a plan - review and update your household emergency plan, and chat to your neighbours about their plans.
• Get the kids involved - encourage them to bring home what they've learned from school activities, so preparedness becomes part of family life.
