The flooding was described as record-breaking, with more than half a year's worth of rain falling over just three days. As a result, approximately 50,000 people were isolated due to the floodwaters, with emergency services personnel working to establish a major clean-up operation.
The Australian Defense Force will be made available. There's going to be a big recovery effort required.

It's an amazing, heroic logistical effort where, in very difficult circumstances, many volunteers put themselves in harm's way to rescue a complete stranger. And over the coming days and weeks, we will hear scores of stories of locals being plucked out of impossible, desperate situations.
I must also say that we're bracing for more bad news in the next 24 hours. This natural disaster has been terrible for this community.
If your home or premise has been inundated, floodwaters have contaminants. There can be vermin, snakes ... So you need to assess those risks. Electricity can also pose a danger as well.
I don't think there is a question that climate change is having a significant impact on weather events right across the world.
