Out of sight, out of mind. Regardless of the fact that media hype has died down and the roads are passable, not everyone in our communities are safe and sound. Checking in with family, neighbours, friends, and business owners is important during this post-flood, recovery period. The most difficult time for recovery is when the chaos of the storm is over and people see just how big of a job this really is.  ### **Remember Those Affected By Recent Floods** Our social media platforms at Cru Software only reach so far, so now it's your turn to #spreadtheword. Remind the people and communities around you that they are not forgotten. If you're unsure of how to help, check out the resources below to help: - [https://www.qld.gov.au/emergency/emergencies-services/help-disaster](https://www.qld.gov.au/emergency/emergencies-services/help-disaster) - [https://www.beyondblue.org.au/the-facts/natural-disasters-and-your-mental-health](https://www.beyondblue.org.au/the-facts/natural-disasters-and-your-mental-health) For inspiration, we've listed some Queensland Resources companies and some of our customers who have donated millions of dollars and donated many hours towards recovery efforts in flood-affected areas of the country.
