Register.Find.Reunite launched to reunite families and friends impacted by Cypress Gardens, Millmerran Downs fire

23 October 2023

Australian Red Cross has opened Register.Find.Reunite and is urging people affected by the Cypress Gardens, Millmerran Downs fire to get in touch with their families and friends.

Australian Red Cross Emergency State Manager Shea Mann said being separated from family and friends is one of the most stressful things a person can experience during an emergency.

“Not knowing where your loved ones are, not being able to contact them by phone or email adds to that anxiety,” Ms Mann said.

“The service helps find and reunite family, friends and loved ones during a disaster.”

If you or a loved one have been impacted by the Cypress Gardens, Millmerran Downs fire, Australian Red Cross encourages you to register or enquire through the Register.Find.Reunite service.

People can register and look for someone with Register.Find.Reunite on the Australian Red Cross website at redcross.org.au from a computer, any mobile device or in person at the evacuation centre at Millmerran Showgrounds, 171 Millmerran-Cecil Plains Road, Millmerran, QLD 4357.

If internet and mobile devices are down due to the emergency, people can also register and enquire via phone 1800 442 182 (Australia wide) or internationally from +61 (7) 3055 6230 (international calls only).

The Register.Find.Reunite service matches registrations from people affected by an emergency to enquiries made by their loved ones searching for news.

Where a match is made, the person who made the enquiry will be notified.

It is important for emergency management agencies to know where people are during emergencies. By registering with Register.Find.Reunite you are also letting important services know that you are OK and what support you may need.
