The SWIRLnet team is in the field deploying towers in front of #cyclone #jasper . Real-time wind and atmospheric data from our towers are available to view and download here: jcu.edu.au/swirlnet/wind-spe…. @cts_jcu @HazardsResearch @RiskFrontiers @RMS
Insightful comment - and nice to see the role of understanding vulnerability (and changing vulnerability) highlighted as an important component of building better models.

SWIRLnet all prepped and ready for any deployments this cyclone season! Two new towers (almost) ready for action and more to come over the coming years. @cts_jcu @UQ_EAIT @HazardsResearch

RESILIENT HOMES FUND UPDATE 📣 90 homeowners have now been approved for the RHF flood buy back initiative. This includes 32 prioritised homeowners in the @IpswichCouncil area. So far 486 Queensland homeowners are looking for a property buy back. Valuations commenced this week.
This is a nice article but I wonder whether the result would be that prices and rents go down in areas rated as high risk and you would therefore drive people that are less well off - and thus likely to have less means to recover after a disaster - into high risk areas.
A mere (covid-forced) 2 year gap between graduating and getting to don your floppy hat, @aspassiani! Irrespective, congratulations Dr Spassiani and good to have you back in Australia, even if only for a few weeks.
