In an emergency, a bug-out bag is your lifeline and can determine whether you overcome the crisis—or not.

‘The figure we have been given to get our water back up to a perfect solution is around the $150 million mark.’

About 16 houses in the South Gippsland community of Mirboo North were so extensively damaged by Tuesday’s wild storms that they can no longer be lived in.

‘We walked out onto the driveway as the lights were out and the water was already armpit level high.’

Capital cities including Sydney, Brisbane, Darwin and Canberra each experienced showers on Monday, Jan. 15, or they were forecast.

‘There are people who have lost their homes, there are people who have lost assets around the property.’

‘We’re here to say that we’re putting our shoulder to the wheel to make sure that can be done.’

‘If it was my grandmother in the water I hope someone else would have done the same thing, yeah it was a very lucky situation.’

‘It is burning in some very dense old-growth forest and this fire could continue and we’re expecting it to continue for the next several days.’

Five people - including two children - were rescued at Mount Molloy after spending the night on their roof.

‘Because things are moving so slowly that means areas along the east north tropical coast have continued to get heavy rainfall.’

‘We expect crocodiles in the cyclone-affected area to be on the move as they search for a quieter place to wait until the floodwaters to recede.’

‘Winds of this strength can easily bring down tree limbs, whole trees or power lines, damaging fences, roofs and other properties.’

‘Wherever Jasper crosses it will be a significant event likely to bring damaging to destructive winds, heavy persistent rain that will lead to flooding.’

‘There is a significant risk of flash flooding and a storm surge when the cyclone makes landfall.’

‘At this stage the highest risk of a cyclone impact is in the region north of Mackay.’

Residents were encouraged to remain vigilant as 10 blazes sparked emergency warnings throughout the afternoon.

Australia needs to upgrade its infrastructure to help communities withstand the effects of climate change.

President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden will visit Maui on Aug. 21 to survey the damage from the nation’s deadliest wildfires in more than a century.
