"Heavy rain continues to fall across the Hunter and Mid North Coast of New
South Wales. Rivers are bursting their banks and spreading over floodplains,
leaving many areas on flood watch. And now, this emergency is heading south.

The unfolding disaster shows just how vulnerable rural catchments and regional
communities are to extreme rainfall. It comes just a few months after extensive
flooding hit western Queensland.

The flooding issues for rural and regional Australia are quite distinct from
city areas, where populations are concentrated and urban runoff is the main
danger. So what can Australia’s regional and rural communities learn from this
extreme weather event?"
