"“We are […] sandbagging the state”, New South Wales Emergency Services
Minister Steph Cooke declared on Saturday. And so we endure the third La Niña
season with this waiting-for-the-next-disaster attitude.
After heavy rain and repeated floods across Australia’s eastern states over the
past three years, it’s worth considering what we have and haven’t learned.
A good way to improve flood readiness is to understand how floods work, and
then to examine adaptive solutions developed by communities facing similar
situations in other countries. Every river behaves differently and responses
should site-specific. However, the following approaches may be relevant to
local conditions and are likely to improve flood protection."
