Severe weather and disasters can disrupt health services across the Gold Coast. GCPHN supports general practices and primary care providers to prepare early, stay connected and maintain access to care during emergencies.
This page brings together current updates, practical planning guidance and clear actions to help your service respond safely and effectively when disruption occurs.
Disasters and emergencies are unpredictable. However, forecasts and warnings often provide valuable early indication of emerging risks. Effective disaster preparedness includes actively monitoring conditions and official warnings, supported by a range of trusted websites that provide real-time updates and situational information.
GCPHN complements these updates by sharing relevant disaster information and resources to support primary care providers to make timely, informed decisions before and during emergency events.
Disaster Emergency Dashboards
These websites provide real‑time alerts before, during, and after disaster events, including road closures, power outages, and weather warnings.
Having a current emergency management and business continuity plan helps protect patients, staff and services during disruption. Planning should be proportionate to your practice size and local risks and reviewed regularly.
GCPHN supports practices with practical planning tools, templates and advice to help identify risks, clarify roles and plan how services can continue operating or recover safely after an event.
