The 2010–2011 Queensland Flood and Cyclone Citation is a state decoration established by the Governor-of-Queensland-in-Council in 2011.
The citation consists of a maroon ribbon with four white vertical stripes surrounded by a bronze metallic frame. The four white stripes represent the four emergency service agencies that existed at the time of the event - Queensland Fire and Rescue Service, Queensland Ambulance Service, Emergency Management Queensland and the Queensland Police Service.
The cyclone symbols on both sides of the citation represents the time line of cyclonic events occurring between Cyclone Tasha in December 2011 and Cyclone Yasi in February 2011. The swirls on the top and bottom of the citation represents waves associated with the mass flooding which occurred throughout many parts of Queensland.
The group citation was issued to employees and volunteers of the Department of Community Safety who performed duty on at least one shift at any time between 1 December 2010 and 28 February 2011. Duty performed may be in direct response to the flood and cyclone events or in maintaining core business during this period.
