Australia Begins Clean-up After Floods Kill 5, Damage 10,000 Properties

  • On May 24, Australian officials commenced recovery efforts following floodwaters that resulted in five fatalities and affected over 10,000 homes in the southeastern region.
  • The floods resulted from days of continuous rain that caused rivers to burst their banks, isolating about 50,000 people in 15 mid-north coast communities.
  • Floodwaters cut off towns, destroyed homes, swept away livestock, and submerged intersections and cars to windshield level, with Taree among the worst-hit areas.
  • State Emergency Services reported 52 rescues overnight and stated that early estimates indicate damage to at least 10,000 properties, while Prime Minister Albanese lamented the "loss of life."
  • Damage assessments continue with evacuation orders still in place, and authorities urge residents to remain patient until waters recede and it is safe to return home.
