We are a long time supporter of the Australian Red Cross at Solutions Outsourced with work place giving in place. During the Queensland floods we have been greatly impressed with their fast response during this sudden natural disaster. A lot goes into offering relief of such a large scale, and the Red Cross have been doing an amazing job managing the Evacuation Centres - one of the many aspects we all take for granted - accommodating those in need of shelter.

One of our business partners Spectrum have also done their bit, hosting the flood aid website: http://floodaid.com.au The site offers a discussion area for those in need and those with capability to connect to help rebuild the pieces.

For those who haven't been overloaded by the media take on this, take a look at this interesting before and after of Brisbane Floods as depicted by the ABC News. See an example on the left of the before and after.
