Natural disasters such as floods, severe storms, heatwaves and bushfires can strike without warning — especially here in South East Queensland. That’s why the Logan City Council has developed two powerful tools to help residents and businesses stay safe, informed and ready when severe weather threatens: the Disaster Dashboard and the Logan Early Warning System. Together, these tools aim to keep the community aware of hazards before, during and after emergency events.
The Disaster Dashboard is an online portal designed to be your first stop for real-time emergency information affecting the City of Logan. It brings together critical data from multiple sources so that you can see, at a glance:
Whether you’re planning your day or responding to an active emergency, the Dashboard is updated continuously to reflect the latest available information. Having these insights in one place helps individuals and families make informed decisions about their safety and movements.
The tool is designed to be user-friendly and accessible from any device — and council encourages everyone to bookmark it as part of your readiness planning.
Alongside the Dashboard, the Logan Early Warning System provides free alerts straight to your phone or email so you’re among the first to know when severe weather or hazards are headed your way. This service is especially valuable for fast-moving events like storms and floods, and includes:
You can register online with a street address to receive notifications relevant to your location via SMS, email, or text-to-voice for landlines — keeping you aware even when you’re not actively checking updates.
While the older app version of the Early Warning service is being phased out, alerts will now be delivered reliably through email and text messaging so you don’t miss critical information.
Preparedness and awareness save lives. Severe weather in Logan can develop quickly, and having up-to-date information can make the difference between staying safe and being caught off guard. Whether you’re a long-time resident, a business owner, or new to the area, the Disaster Dashboard and Early Warning System help you:
Council emphasises that being informed is not just about technology — it’s about acting on the information you receive to reduce risk and prepare effectively.
Both tools are free and available 24/7 to all Logan community members and businesses — so make them part of your emergency planning toolkit today.
Staying prepared doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With tools like the Disaster Dashboard and Early Warning System, Logan residents have access to timely, trusted information when it matters most. Bookmark the dashboard, sign up for alerts, and help keep yourself and your community safe.
