A few months ago, the State Government launched this year’s ‘Get Ready’ campaign which is aimed at encouraging Queenslanders to have their homes prepared ahead of the storm season. As part of this year’s launch, the Government has teamed up with the RACQ to produce a ‘Get Ready’ USB stick that contains fact sheets to help homeowners prepare their homes in the event of a storm. The USB can also be used to store your personal documents and insurance papers which make it a very useful item to have on hand for a quick evacuation. The USB drives are free to anyone and can be collected from my office in Maleny or from the Glasshouse Country News office in Glass House Mountains.
