Far North Queensland
Flood Support

Welcome to the Cairns Notice Board Community Resource Hub for Far North Queensland Flood Support

In the wake of the unprecedented flooding across Far North Queensland, our hearts go out to every community member facing the aftermath of this natural disaster. The communities of Cairns, Douglas Shire, Atherton Tablelands, Wujal Wujal, Yarrabah, and other areas have endured record-breaking rainfall and challenging conditions, resulting in significant damage and displacement.

Your Central Information Portal in Response to the Floods

I'm Lisa, one of the Admins of the Cairns Notice Board Facebook group. In updating the community from when Cyclone Jasper was approaching the region, until now, it became evident that our community needed more than just a Facebook group. We needed a central, accessible hub for information from all sources —a place where local, state, and federal government updates converge with the heartwarming efforts of our local volunteer groups who are out there in the most severely effected areas, plus those organising events to help those most affected. This website is born from that need. It's an evolving resource, complementing the Cairns Notice Board, dedicated to keeping our community informed and connected.

Here for You: Information, Assistance, and Support

Whether you're seeking aid, offering help, or simply looking for updates, we're here to streamline your search. This platform is designed to try and help connect you with the necessary resources during the ongoing recovery from ex-cyclone Jasper's impact.

A Collective of Critical Links and Resources

Below, you'll find an array of essential links. These include the amazing community work our local volunteer groups are doing on the ground and updated info on transfers to and from Port Douglas. You'll find links to the Support Hubs in the various flood zones, CRC Disaster Dashboard for information on financial assistance, infrastructure, road conditions, and electricity updates, alongside emergency assistance details. You'll also discover links to other crucial resources for everyone in the region.

A Collaborative Effort: Let's Keep Our Information Current

As our situation evolves, so will this website. Your input is invaluable. If you're aware of any organisation, volunteer group, or community event aiding in flood relief efforts, or if there's something you feel should be featured here, please reach out. Contact me, Lisa, at [email protected] or send a text to 04315 17579. Together, we can ensure that this hub remains a relevant, comprehensive resource for all.
