There are many complex reasons that affect how people respond during floods. @HazardsResearch research after the 2022 Qld & NSW floods shows social and economic factors underpin reactions.
Yes, we need better flood warnings. But most of us don’t or can’t evacuate from floods.
As @mel_taylor48 and colleagues (@Macquarie_Uni + @UOW) write, safety means focusing on community resilience as well as warnings bit.ly/432z3ja

The Canberra fires marked a pivotal moment in Australian bushfire science.
It showed that even urban communities can be in danger if close enough to the bush, but we're now better placed to respond swiftly to bushfires, writes @andegiss (@Macquarie_Uni). bit.ly/3Jdt3O3

Incredible golf at the #AusOpenGolf, amazing atmosphere, some great eagles. @VicGolfClub is absolute mint. Couldn’t begin to imagine what it would be like to play.
Yeah he didn’t make the last round cut, but it was very cool to see Cam Smith play up close this morning at @VicGolfClub #AusOpenGolf. Enjoyed the crowd banter over this wayward drive & lack of foot wedge (after first checking no one was hit, very considerate)
