🎒 WHAT’S IN YOUR EMERGENCY KIT?

Get Ready Queensland Week is the perfect time to get prepared for storm season! ⛈️

Having an emergency kit ready can make a big difference if severe weather causes power outages, flooding or forces you to leave home.

✅ Your emergency kit should include:

💧 Drinking water (at least 3 days’ supply per person)
🥫 Non-perishable food
💊 Essential medications
🩹 First aid kit
🔦 Torch and spare batteries
📻 Battery-powered radio
🔋 Phone power bank and charging cables
📄 Important documents stored in a waterproof bag
🧼 Personal hygiene items and toiletries
🐾 Food and supplies for your pets

💡 SES tip: Keep your kit somewhere easy to access, check expiry dates regularly, and make sure everyone in your household knows where it is.

Don't wait until a storm is approaching to get organised!

👉 Take 10 minutes today to check your emergency kit.

📣 What’s one item you think everyone should have in their emergency kit? Tell us in the comments!

A tidy yard is a safer yard! 🌳 Take some time to trim overhanging branches, clear gutters and drains, secure loose items, and check fences and sheds around your home.

A few simple jobs now can help reduce damage when severe weather hits.

Be prepared. It makes a difference! 💪

Last night, combined with State Emergency Service - Kawana group members, we said farewell to one of our valued SES members, Cameron McDonald.

Cameron was celebrated for an incredible 18 years of service with the SES. Cameron has made a hard and emotional decision to leave SES and focus on other endeavours.

18 years is an amazing milestone, and we’re incredibly grateful for the time, commitment and support they have given to our unit and the SES community over the years.

Thank you for being part of our SES family and for the memories, friendships and moments shared along the way. We wish you all the very best for the next chapter!

Thank you for 18 years of service 💙🧡

🧡 R U OK? — Any Day

In the SES, we look out for each other — on the job and off it.

Sometimes a simple “Are you OK?” can make a bigger difference than we realise. Take a moment to check in with your mates, your crew, your family, your neighbours and those around you.

🗣️ Ask — Have a conversation.
👂 Listen — Be present.
🤝 Encourage — Check in and support.
🧡 Keep in touch — A small check-in can make a big difference.

You don’t need to wait- check in now
