What Australia can learn from Spain's recent deadly floods

ABC  

Australia is being urged to heed the lessons of Spain's devastating floods and make sure that warning systems and emergency response capabilities are up to tackling disasters that are becoming more frequent and more intense. While the death toll was significantly lower than in Spain, Dr Prinsley says the "terrible" early warning systems seen there were similar to the alerts "which came too late" during the floods in Lismore. Locals in Spain were forced to step in and do the work of emergency services — something Australia has "They are fundamentally rescuing themselves," says University of Technology Sydney landscape architecture professor Elizabeth Mossop, who has worked on recovery efforts after huge disasters including Hurricane Katrina. Professor Mossop says the Black Summer Fires in 2019 to 2020 also saw people being "rescued by their neighbours and not by emergency services".
