The ‘Get Ready Disaster Preparedness Seminars’ will be held across Queensland, and are designed to prepare you and your family for a potential disaster this emergency season.

They will feature guest speakers from the BOM, EMQ and the Queensland Fire and Rescue Service, and will feature a question and answer session where you get the chance to find out information relevant to you.

It is all part of ABC Local Radio Queensland’s commitment as your official emergency broadcaster. Scroll down to find the date and location of a seminar near you.
