"Thousands of residents are mopping up in the wake of ex-Cyclone Alfred, which
has damaged homes and cars, flooded roads and gouged out beaches.
I write from Brisbane, where rain has fallen for several days. Most of it is
draining to a coastline already swollen and eroded by Alfred’s swell.
Flood warnings are current in southeast Queensland and northeast New South
Wales. Many communities are in danger – some of which have faced multiple
floods in recent years.
Despite all this, the damage could have been so much worse – and we may not be
so lucky next time. Australia must use Cyclone Alfred as a serious wake-up call
to bolster our essential infrastructure against disasters."
