About the disaster management website


In line with the Disaster Management Act 2003, the Queensland Government must make available for inspection, free of charge, by members of the public certain disaster management information. To enable this, the Disaster Management website was established to provide a platform for the Queensland Government to make disaster management information available, enabling a complete view of disaster management publications for Disaster Management Practitioners.


Queensland Police Service is the administrator for this site. To ensure continuous improvement of our services and products or have a publishing request, please submit via our contact us page.

Queensland’s largest Disaster and Emergency Service Reform is now complete. These exciting new changes include:

  • A newly established Emergency Management and Coordination and Command, Queensland Police Service - dedicated to supporting disaster management in Queensland.
  • Our state’s trusted and strengthened State Emergency Service.
  • A newly established Marine Rescue Queensland.
  • Queensland Fire Department, including Queensland Fire Rescue and Rural Fire Service Queensland.
  • Boosted resilience and recovery through Queensland Recovery Agency.
