- Bushfire season is here, summer rainfall, and cyclone seasons fast approaching
- Planning the key to surviving natural disasters
- Disaster guides provide key information for primary producers
Queensland primary producers are being urged to prepare now for natural disasters to help ensure the safety of family, workers and animals.
Queenslanders need to be prepared heading into our bushfire, summer rainfall, and cyclone season.
Bushfire is expected to be a particular risk in Queensland following the warmer winter weather this year.
By taking steps now, producers can reduce the risk of disaster damage and financial loss.
The Queensland Government has disaster guides to help primary producers get ready for disaster season.
Tips include photographing assets in their pre-disaster condition and ensuring everyone on the property is familiar with the evacuation plan in the event of a natural disaster.
Producers should also ensure livestock have access to higher ground or are moved to safer ground or shelter with access to food and water ahead of an event.
Make sure you’ve got a financial plan including having adequate insurance cover, reviewing how you will manage orders, refunds and cancellations, and keeping financial reserves and emergency cash.
