The east coast of Australia is in the midst of a flood crisis, and Brisbane is one of the worst-hit areas. If you’re looking for ways to help the victims, we’ve got you covered. Here are four great ways to make a difference!
Sign Up for Mud Army 2.0
Volunteers are being called on for Mud Army 2.0 now. Brisbane City Council is partnering with Volunteering Queensland to help with the flood recovery efforts. You can register your interest to help out.
Similiarly, if you’ve been impacted by floodwaters yourself you can also register to get help.
Head here to register.
Donate to Emergency and Volunteer Organisations
If you’re able, donating money is a great way to help out flood victims.
The Rural Fire Service (RFS) and State Emergency Services (SES) are on the front lines of this disaster, and they need all the support they can get. You can donate to the RFS here, and the SES here.
You can also donate to the Australian Red Cross Society, who are actively working in evacuation centres across the state now.
Foster an Animal
Currently, the RSPCA is overwhelmed.
The floods have displaced many animals, and the RSPCA is struggling to keep up with the influx of animals coming in. If you’re able to foster an animal, you can email floods@rspcaqld.org.au
Check In With Your Local Small Businesses
Many small businesses have been hit hard by the floods.
If you’re able to, please check in with your local small businesses and see how you can help.
A lot of businesses impacted have called for help from their community with clean-up efforts.
Many of them are using their social channels to communicate the most important and timely updates.
