Natural Hazards

2022 Floods

Spatial dimensions and nature of a contemporary ecological hazard
- "This wasn't a flood it was a demolition": How can Lismore survive?
- From Gympie to Grafton, see the floods devastation from the air

Characteristics of the natural environment, including the physical processes and cycles influencing the nature and occurrence of the hazard 
- Why it could rain for months on Australia's east coast
- When will the east coast deluge end and where, oh where, did it come from?
- The east coast rain and flooding seems endless. Where on Earth is all the water coming from?

Human–environment interactions and evidence of change, including: 
The contribution of human activities to hazard events

- Tram vale: the flood stricken development that should have taught Sydney a lesson, but didn't
- Manly Dam has spilled, putting thousands on flooding alert: Here’s what you need to know about Sydney’s dams

Change in relation to climate
- Alan Kohler: Some difficult, expensive decisions will have to be made by whoever wins this election
- The east coast rain seems endless. Where on Earth is all the water coming from?

​Challenges, opportunities, and responses, including:
Changes to natural processes, systems and/or environments

- Talyawalka Creek in far west NSW flows for first time in a decade, as floodwaters trickle down
- Northern NSW vets work to save hundreds of starving, suffering animals amid flood crisis

Impacts on people and communities
- Like many disasters in Australia, Aboriginal people are over-represented and under-resourced in the NSW floods
- ‘Worse than 2017’: Lismore faces mammoth rebuild after flood as community inundated by loss
- Lismore flood: hundreds rescued and thousands evacuated as NSW city hit by worst flooding in history
- Thousands in Sydney ordered to leave homes amid flood crisis
- Tropical infections likely to afflict flood-hit communities as heavy rain continues
- Sydney floods captured on social media as roads turn into rivers and cars become boats
- Prime Minister declares floods a national emergency
- ‘I can’t afford to go anywhere else’: the NSW caravan park residents devastated by floods


Risk-management policies, procedures and practices at a range of scales, eg prevention, mitigation, preparedness and resilience-building 
- "Limited development" Shane Fitzsimmons adds to call to stop building on flood plains
'- One-in-100-years' flood talk disastrously misleading and should change, risk experts say
- A new levee and river remodelling for Lismore?

​Varying perspectives
- ‘Farcical’: Minister shoots down flood relocation, says residents know the risks
- NSW failing flood victims, with better, faster response needed: Andrew Constance
- Liberal candidate for flooded marginal seat calls for Warragamba wall raising

The effectiveness of people and organisations in managing ONE contemporary hazard event at a selected place
- Chefs lead volunteers to feed NSw flood victims in absence of government food relief
- Defence force defends response to communities in NSW devastated by floods
- Additional army support arriving in Lismore as homelessness crisis mounts
- Perrottet defends NSW flood response amid Lismore anger as Qld death toll rises
- NSW floods: Premier says not a dollar will be spared in effort to rebuild Lismore, Northern Rivers region
- Operation Flood Assist 2022
- Should natural disaster responses be part of the Australian Defence Force's job?
- Northern NSW wants Prime Minister to hear how locals rescued each other in flood
​
- Prime Minister declares floods a national emergency, more money for residents in Lismore and other NSW towns
​
- ​Marcus wanted five minutes with Scott Morrison. The flood victim was told the PM had no time
