HINCHINBROOK REPORT
M E S S A G E F R O M T H E M AY O R
It is that time of year again – THE TIME TO BE READY – for
potential natural disasters. Whether as an individual, a business,
a Council or one of the emergency services, we should all have our
plans in place to deal with the disruptions and threats caused by
cyclones, floods and storm surges and to enhance our resilience
and safety from these impacts.
TO BE READY – we should:
1. Know the risks and how each threat will affect our own individual area. Will flood water affect your property?
2. Prepare your property for a cyclone. Clear all debris and secure anything that could become a possible projectile in high
winds. Have an emergency and evacuation plan for yourself, your family and your pets.
3. Have an emergency kit with at least seven (7) days of supplies, including food, fuel and medical supplies.
Further specific details and examples of how and what you need TO BE READY can easily be found on Council’s website
www.hinchinbrook.qld.gov.au, Get Ready Queensland www.getready.qld.gov.au and Emergency Management Queensland
www.disaster.qld.gov.au. Alternatively call Council on 4776 4600, we will gladly assist.
For information before, during and after a disaster or emergency event please visit the Hinchinbrook Disaster Dashboard,
disaster.hinchinbrook.qld.gov.au.
Kindest regards
Mayor Ramon Jayo

The Hinchinbrook Emergency Action Guide is available in
three additional languages: Italian, Spanish and Tagalog
(Filipino). The Emergency Action Guide focuses on
natural disasters and provides information on preparing
an emergency plan, emergency kit and evacuation kit.
It outlines the best way to survive a natural disaster and
how to find information during disaster events such as
cyclone, flood, bushfire, landslide, heatwave or severe
thunderstorm.
The availability of translated guides will improve
understanding of disaster directives and warnings for
community members with limited English proficiency,
and help to remove barriers for first responders and
emergency providers before, during and after disaster
events.
If you or someone you know would benefit from these
translated guides, please contact Council to arrange
collection, or visit Council’s Disaster and Emergency
Information page.

Do you know the evacuation zone in your area? If an evacuation order is announced for Red, Orange and/or Yellow zone, affected residents
should move out of the area using the most direct evacuation route.
RED ZONE:
These properties face the highest risk of coastal flooding
from a storm tide. They may experience flooding in areas
located up to two and three metres above AHD.
ORANGE ZONE:
These properties face a high risk of coastal flooding from a
storm tide. They may experience flooding in areas located
between three and four metres above AHD.
YELLOW ZONE:
These properties face a moderate risk of coastal flooding
from a storm tide. They may experience flooding in areas
located between four and six metres above AHD.
If you live in a coastal community, a storm tide evacuation Australian Height Datum (AHD) is the term used to describe the
sticker identifying your zone should be located inside your reference level for defining ground levels in Australia. The level of
electrical meter box. 0.0m AHD is approximately mean sea level at that location.
