PILLARS OF STRENGTH 2011 FLOOD MEMORIAL In January 2011, devastating floods inundated townships and cities across south east Queensland. Thirty-three people died during the floods, which have been described as the “largest disaster event” in the state's history, with the damage bill estimated at more than $5 billion. The Somerset region was hit particularly hard, with some areas flooding twice during the peak of the catastrophe. Through the fearful days of the floods and in the confronting aftermath, residents proved their reputation for stoic determination and generous community spirit. The making of this memorial is indicative of their resilience. The Pillars of Strength Memorial is an innovative multipurpose public art space created by Somerset artists featuring local materials, imagery and traditions that celebrate the cultural diversity and vibrancy of the arts in the region. This memorial project is symbolic of the community coming together to support each other during times of need. Partipants wish to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the Somerset region. The Pillars of Strength project has been made possible through the Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements (NDRRA) Category C funding provided by the Australian and Queensland Governments through the Community Development and Recovery Package.

Somerset Regional Council Local Disaster Management Plan
Somerset Regional Council Local Disaster Management Plan CONTROLLED COPY No._____ Somerset Regional Council Local Disaster Management Plan Part 1 Main Plan and Annexes 1 Preliminaries Version 2.00 Aug 09 Somerset Regional Council Local Disaster Management Plan Somerset Regional Council Local Disaster Management Plan 1. Preliminaries P1.01 Foreword from Chair of Somerset Regional Council Local Disaster Management Group Somerset Regional is a dynamic area of the Brisbane Valley in South East Queensland which is experiencing moderate growth and despite its idyllic lifestyle the area is occasionally subjected to the impact of disasters both natural and non-natural. The Shire has a wide range of topography, changing demographics and diversified industries; therefore there is a need for a dynamic and robust Local Disaster Management Plan. This local disaster management plan, prepared by the Somerset Regional Local Disaster Management Group under the authority of the Disaster Management Act 2003, forms the basis and guidelines for the Prevention, Preparedness, Response and Recovery activities of the joint agencies within the Somerset Regional Council area, when responding to a disaster that has impacted or has the potential to seriously impact upon the Shire’s communities and its infrastructure. Threat specific plans for the most likely threats such as flooding and emergency animal/plant disease have been developed along with supporting Operational Functional Plans. The plan is a dynamic document that will be kept up to date to match changes in legislation and reflect lessons learnt from natural disasters elsewhere in the State. Whilst as a community we may not be able to prevent disaster from occurring, we can through planning, prepare our community and enhance its resilience to the adverse impact of any threat.
