Not expected to be much of a threat.

I wouldn't be too worried about relatives over here. The Emergency services and local businesses do take every precaution to keep tourists and non-locals informed and safe from harm.
The community spirit I have seen here in Queensland in every natural disaster here (3 in 5 years) has been amazing. The worst that could happen would be inconvenience and delays. They do a super job at coping with extreme conditions. If anything, it will be the experience of a lifetime.
