The Salvation Army Emergency Services (SAES) are partnering with the Queensland State Government and Premier David Crisafulli MP to provide timely assistance to those affected by devastating flooding in North Queensland.

The SAES team consists of coordinating staff stationed across the country and over 3000 volunteers, ready to be deployed when disasters hit. They have now met the basic needs of more than 700 people whose lives have been affected by days of flooding across areas of North Queensland including towns near the Gulf of Carpentaria, and as far east as Ingham.
