The Queensland Ambulance Service has had a busy few days as Southeast Queensland prepared for the arrival of the cyclone.

Pressure on the QAS is set to continue over the coming days as residents begin to venture outside, clean up their homes and recover from the significant weather event.

Queensland Ambulance Commissioner, Craig Emery told Peter Fegan, "You're not only putting yourself at risk, but you are putting the rescuers at risk so consideration along those lines is much appreciated."

The Commissioner warned that floodwater can be particularly dangerous due to animals, snakes, electricity and bacteria that can be found in the water.
