The Mud Army will return to Brisbane streets in the coming days as floods in south-east Queensland begin to subside.

The rain has stopped this morning after days without reprieve but the Lord Mayor warns we’re “not out of the woods yet”.

“There’s a lot of people who want to help but right now is not the time to be cleaning up,” Adrian Schrinner told Neil Breen.

“We’ve got more flooding coming tonight and potentially more in the coming days.”

Volunteers are assured the Brisbane City Council is currently gearing up to coordinate the massive clean-up effort.

“The Mud Army 2.0 is coming,” Mr Schrinner said. “As soon as we are ready to start cleaning up, we will let people know.”

GIVIT National Manager Jo Beadle told Sofie Formica the public can also help my donating time or money.

“The best way that people can help in the really early stages of a disaster like the one we’re experiencing is to consider donations of cash because we don’t actually know what we’re needing,” she said.

She said it’s not the time to donate preowned goods to evacuation centres, where they may not be used.

“Cash donated into our website means we can use that money to purchase that items and we ensure that 100 per cent of the monies we receive are spent specifically to those needs.”
