"The floods ravaging Victoria have destroyed hundreds of homes and left at
least one person dead. Some rivers are not expected to peak until Monday and
more wet weather may leave towns battling floodwaters again in the coming
weeks.

We’ve been researching the experiences of people who survived floods in
Queensland and New South Wales this year. Our initial findings offer insights
as Victoria now suffers its own flood disaster.

The current crisis is far from over. Those affected will be feeling confused
and overwhelmed. Well-meaning helpers are likely to rush in, and recovery
agencies will be mobilising.

In the difficult weeks and months ahead, here’s what Victorian flood survivors
will be going though – and how best to help."
