Disaster in the classroom

Council has created a suite of education resources focused on the natural hazards that can impact the Cairns region.

The materials include classroom activities, experiments, background information and lesson plans aligned to the Australian Curriculum.

Members of Council's Disaster Management Unit can visit your school to discuss natural hazards either as one-on-one sessions with teachers or classroom discussions. School excursions to the Local Disaster Coordination Centre are also possible.

Please contact the Disaster Management Unit on 1300 69 22 47 or by email to cairnsdisastermanagement@cairns.qld.gov.au
