The information in the indicator panel and on the map is a live data feed from the Queensland Fire Department (QFD).

It may include structure fires, vegetation fires, road crash rescues, hazardous materials incidents and other types of incidents.

Within Council’s emergency dashboard map, only incidents within the Brisbane City Local Government Area are displayed. This information is extracted from the Queensland Emergency Services Computer Aided Dispatch (ESCAD) database. It is not ‘real time’ information but is provided as a general indication of current activity.

The symbols represent the general area of the incident(s). Although every care is taken to ensure that all information on this website is accurate and up-to-date, QFD cannot accept any responsibility for mistakes or omissions. All figures are updated every 5-10 minutes. Figures may differ from other QFD incident counts due to filtering.

The information in the indicator panel and on the map is a live data feed from Brisbane City Council. The map will only show open evacuation centres and the indicator will show the count of open evacuation centres. This information can change during an event so residents are advised to check the emergency dashboard frequently during an event. The location of the evacuation centre is represented on the map. Clicking on the evacuation centre on the map will reveal additional information including the address of the centre.

Clicking on the sandbag distribution location on the map will reveal additional information including the address of the sandbag depot.

During an event, the map will display the predicted flood extent based on advice issued by the Australian Government’s Bureau of Meteorology. The advice will comprise the date, time and height (in metres) for the predicted flood peak at the Brisbane River City Gauge (Kangaroo Point).

This advice will be prominently displayed in a footer on the bottom of the map. If no flooding is currently occurring in the Brisbane River, the words 'There is currently NO flooding event impacting the Brisbane River' will be displayed.

The address or place search has been configured to only return addresses within the Brisbane City Local Government Area (LGA). If you reside outside of the Brisbane City LGA, please consult your local council’s emergency dashboard. A full list of local government emergency dashboards can be found on the Queensland Government website. Most addresses or place names will return a result but Council takes no responsibility for the accuracy of the returned location or that the location returned will meet your needs. Lot/Plan type searches are not currently supported.

Your search may return several possible results. Selecting a record will zoom to that location and display the location on the map as blue and black pin. Clearing the search will remove the pin from the map.
