Qld urged to prepare for bushfires

Qld urged to prepare for bushfiresWITH the climate creating dryer conditions once more in south-east Queensland, the threat of bushfires this season is very real.

HUNDREDS of clubs across Queensland will provide accommodation for people rendered homeless in the event of a natural disaster.

Emergency Services Minister Neil Roberts on Friday will sign a memorandum of understanding with Clubs Queensland, the industry's peak body, at the Department of Community Safety headquarters in Brisbane.

A spokesman for Mr Roberts said Clubs Queensland members had agreed to provide accommodation, showers, and other facilities to people affected by a natural disaster, such as floods or bushfires.

About 600 clubs, including RSL, surf lifesaving, bowls and golf clubs, across Queensland are members of Clubs Queensland.

Two cyclones and monsoonal troughs caused severe flooding to two-thirds of Queensland in February, forcing many to evacuate their homes.
