Taree Flood Victim Chokes Back Tears Speaking About Impact of Deluge

  • Taree, NSW mid north coast, experienced severe flooding from May 19-21, with 427 millimetres of rain inundating over 10,000 properties and isolating 50,000 people for days.
  • A slow-moving low-pressure system caused heavy downpours that led to the flooding, repeating catastrophic events from less than five years earlier in 2021.
  • Emergency agencies, including SES, FRNSW, RFS, VRA, and Police NSW, responded to over 7,000 incidents and nearly 800 flood rescues while communities faced health risks from stagnant floodwaters and pollutants.
  • Elise Gucul from Ignite Nutrician described community support as overwhelming, with gym members and strangers offering help despite emotional damage and lingering financial precarity caused by insurance costs.
  • By May 24, waters began receding and relief measures were instigated by state and federal governments, but cleanup and recovery remain extensive due to unsafe conditions and damaged homes.
