Do you know how the Gateway south bound from Murrumba Downs is getting on? I heard it was closed at the Bracken Ridge exit but my hubby saw people driving down it this morning. Might have to get into work in Cannon Hill tomorrow.

Not even worth thinking about until nearer the time Louise - things will change too much between now and then.

Brisbane City Council is calling on owners of plant or earthmoving equipment able to help in the upcoming flood clean up to make contact.

Brisbane is facing a massive clean up operation when flood waters recede. Plant and heavy equipment will be needed to help return Brisbane to order as quickly as possible and may be used for tasks such as removing debris, damaged infrastructure and cleaning up landslides from roads.

Owners of plant and equipment who can offer their services in anticipation of the clean up operation should email their contact details through to [email protected] or contact Brisbane City Council on 07 3403 8888.

Authorities are urging anyone who has been evacuated, either at the direction of authorities or having initiated such a move themselves, to register on the National Registration and Inquiry System (NRIS).

This is so friends and family are able to reassure themselves that you are safe and that emergency services are able to concentrate on looking for individuals who may be missing as opposed to simply out of contact.

Registration of your details on the NRIS system can be achieved in several ways, including via the internet www.redcross.org.au, by telephone on 1800 727 077 for callers in Australia or international callers on +61 393 283991, or by completion of hand written forms at nominated evacuation centres.

By entering your data you can save needless worry on the part of those who care about you and free up valuable emergency services resources.

If you are unable to contact those within the flood impacted area, you should first enquire with NRIS on 1800 727 077 for callers in Australia, or international callers on +61 393 283991 or at www.redcross.org.au
