Be Aware
Each Queensland suburb and region experiences unique weather and
climate.
Knowing about severe weather patterns in your area will enable
your household and community to prepare, respond and recover from
severe weather events.
Our changing climate
Any Australian can tell you, we cop a lot of extreme weather
like floods, cyclones and bushfires, and that natural disasters are
apart of Australian life. But experts are now warning that climate
change is amplifying these events and they will occur more
frequently and be of greater magnitude in the years ahead.
No single extreme weather event can be attributed to climate change. However
there is an emerging pattern of more frequent and more intense
extreme weather conditions, and scientists predict that this will
continue as a result of rising greenhouse gas emissions in the
atmosphere.
