Rockhampton Regional Council has now activated the Local Disaster Coordination Centre with residents urged to contact the centre on 1300 652 659 for any non-life threatening requests for assistance due to the current bushfires.
Residents are being urged to continue to monitor local media for updates as well as the Queensland Fire and Emergency website and Facebook page for the latest information.
The shelter at the Rockhampton Showgrounds is up and running for evacuees from Gracemere, Stanwell and Kabra areas however due to the numbers of people, residents are asked to go to family and friends wherever possible.
Evacuees who have animals including dogs, cats and horses are asked to contact the LDCC to be provided with information of available areas to bring your animals.
