Cairns residents are being urged to familiarise themselves with the Cairns Disaster Dashboard.
The Cairns Disaster Dashboard (www.disaster.cairns.qld.gov.au) is a single point of reference for information and advice during a disaster.
It brings information from Council, the Bureau of Meteorology, emergency services, utilities such as Ergon and Telstra, road status updates, and traffic and flood cams, together in one place.
Cairns Local Disaster Management Group Chair Cr Terry James said the user-friendly dashboard allows residents to keep themselves informed during a natural disaster.
“During an emergency the dashboard is updated in real time with things like road closures, power outages and notifications of any shelters that may be opened,” Cr James said.
