During disaster events please listen to the advice of police and other authorities on the ground.
Tune into our local Cherbourg Radio 94.1fm otherwise ABC radio Wide Bay is the official disaster station –ABC emergency website has up to date information on emergency situations and weather. You can also listen live on your radio or on the live stream from the ABC. Make sure you have a radio with fresh batteries and spares as if telecommunications go down, this may be your only way of keeping up to date.
Also please remember to keep your family and friends safe and keep out of floodwaters, flooded creeks and rivers. Remember: If it’s flooded, forget it.
Updates will also be placed on Council’s Facebook page as necessary but residents are urged to take necessary steps to keep informed for your own safety.
