Harden Up Protecting Queensland

The Harden Up website, launched October 2011, provides weather data from the CSIRO, Bureau of Meteorology and Insurance Council of Australia to encourage people to take practical steps to become more self-reliant in major weather events.

With data and case studies from the past 150 years for more than 3000 Queensland suburbs, Harden Up allows locals to learn about weather specific to their area.

Funded by a grant from the Natural Disaster Resilience Program through the Queensland Department of Community Safety, Harden Up provides practical advice on how to prepare for and help others during a disaster event.

The site also allows you to create a plan to prepare your household for the weather event that you are most likely to encounter. These plans and resilience tips can be shared through Facebook and other social media.
