Centacare FNQ supports individuals, families, businesses, and communities to strengthen their disaster preparedness, response, and recovery capabilities. Through a range of resilience-building initiatives, including Person-Centred Emergency Planning, Business Continuity Planning, and Social Service Capacity Building, we work alongside communities to enhance preparedness for future disaster events.
We work with you to create a practical recovery plan based on your individual needs and circumstances. Our team can help you understand your options, identify priorities and connect with services, grants, housing assistance and other support to help you move forward with confidence.
Recovering from a disaster can take an emotional toll. We provide compassionate, person-centred support to help individuals and families manage stress, rebuild confidence and strengthen wellbeing throughout the recovery journey.
Natural disasters can strike at any time, making it essential to take proactive steps to protect yourself and your family. Our team is here to guide you through creating a customised Emergency Plan using resources from Get Ready Queensland.
