Ipswich in Summer 2025

TIME TO PREPARE FOR DISASTER SEASON

Residents are also urged to have an emergency kit ready including items such as water, baby supplies if required, non- perishable food, medication, essential toiletries and important documents. Ipswich City Council’s Disaster Dashboard at Disaster.ipswich.qld.gov.au is the key information hub during times of disaster for Ipswich residents, providing rolling updates about road hazards, power outages and the impacts of severe weather.

Ipswich has had its share of natural disasters and now is the time to take steps to protect yourself and your loved ones from extreme weather events. Clearing gutters, tidying up yards and removing tree branches close to buildings are among the measures people can take to limit the damage of severe storms, while sandbags can be helpful if placed strategically before a flood event. It’s recommended to have an emergency plan outlining when to evacuate your home and what to do in this situation, including what to pack, where to go and what to do with pets.
