They have a checklist for Home Prep., a checklist for an Emergency Kit, and a checklist for an Evacuation Kit. I'll find them again later (I'm about to go out) and post links to them (PDFs) for consideration and criticism, if anyone's interested.

Our state government has Emergency Management Queensland (<---linky), under which is their Be Prepared (<---linky) section. There's lots of information there, essentially leading to four downloadable PDFs:

Household Emergency Plan checklist
(linked from page http://www.emergency.qld.gov.au/emq/...seholdplan.asp)

Household Evacuation information and Evacuation Kit checklist
(linked from page http://www.emergency.qld.gov.au/emq/...acplanning.asp)

Household Emergency Kit checklist
(linked from page http://www.emergency.qld.gov.au/emq/...ergencykit.asp)

Prepared Home Checklist
(linked from page http://www.emergency.qld.gov.au/emq/css/preparehome.asp)

Some of the above might all be combined under the SES (State Emergency Service) Get Ready Guide (<---PDF linky) but I haven't fully checked that out yet.

The Be Prepared page specifies four major emergencies (all of the below are linkies):

We're on high ground. I'm going to have to look up some stuff on bushfire (we're in the bushfire zone...as well as the landslip zone, FWIW) and also, of course, the Prepare Your Pets (<---linky) bit.
