STAY INFORMED

In the event of a disaster, staying informed is vital:

• Radio - ABC Far North 105.7FM
• Online - Council's Facebook page 
• Online - Bureau of Meteorology website
• Online - Get Ready Queensland

STAY SAFE

The best place to be during a disaster is in your own home or the home of a friend or family member. Choosing to shelter in a designated place of refuge should be an option of last resort. The Cook Shire Place of Refuge is located at the PCYC Cooktown Events Centre, 3 May Street.
