Queensland's One Million Stars Challenge - Disaster Readiness Index

To encourage Queenslanders to become more prepared for disasters, Volunteering Qld developed the 'Queensland’s One Million Stars Challenge'.

Natural disasters are twice as likely to hit Queensland as other states, but few of us are properly equipped for an emergency, which is why Volunteering Qld created the Disaster Readiness Index.

The Disaster Readiness Index is an interactive online resource which assesses people's knowledge, existing emergency planning procedures and gives them a "star" rating on their level of preparedness.

The Disaster Readiness Index also generates a personalised list of steps to take to become more emergency-ready.

The goal of the challenge is that Queenslanders complete the Disaster Readiness Index and collectively reach a target of a million stars across the state. As each person completes the checklist, their star rating will be added to the state's total.
