They also disrupt business, and affect the safety and health of communities. The losses due to flooding vary widely from year to year and are dependent on a number of factors such as the severity of a flood and its location. Between 1967 and 2005 the average annual direct cost of floods in Australia has been estimated at AUD$377 million (BITRE 2008). This figure is likely to have risen following the widespread and devastating floods across eastern Australia that occurred over the summer of 2010-11. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[110.0, -44.0], [156.0, -44.0], [156.0, -9.0], [110.0, -9.0], [110.0, -44.0]]]} 110.0 156.0 -44.0 -9.0 AU Earth Sciences GA Publication Published_External flood Download the file (pdf) documentDigital Download the file (pdf) PDF Unnamed resource documentDigital HTML
