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