Timely message with donuts
ONE hundred free ‘donut wait’ donuts will be given away in Mossman to promote Douglas Shire Council’s cyclone preparedness message, 'Don’t wait until it’s too late'.
The December 6 promotion is a partnership between the council and iconic Mossman business Duke’s. The donuts will be available at the Duke’s shop at Mossman (1/5 Front St) from 7am and the council’s Mossman administration building (customer service) from 8.30am.
Douglas Shire Mayor Lisa Scomazzon said the donuts giveaway was a fun way to promote an important community message.
“We want everyone to be ready for the upcoming wet season and we are hoping the giveaway will start the conversation about cyclone preparedness,” she said.
“To receive a free donut wait donut, we are asking people to answer the following question: How many litres of water per person should you pack as part of your emergency kit?
“If you don’t know the answer, upload the Douglas Disaster Dashboard to find out. The dashboard has all the details and news you need to know before and during a cyclone event.”
Duke’s owners Mike and Sally Miller said their business was inundated with water during the flooding that followed Cycline Jasper but they were able to clean up and re-open.
