The post flood research from @HazardsResearch is getting out there to those who can use the findings. @mel_taylor48 at #empa2023 sharing flood research findings. Words & terminology important. Examples shared about the ‘one-in-100 year flood’ terminology & how interpreted.

[Nathan Maddock @nathanmaddock]

Can’t wait to see the solutions for the 2023 #DisasterChallenge. Postgrads, understands and early career researchers, don’t miss out! Get your entry in by tomorrow (Thursday) night, 25 May. https://t.co/nqu8VeKvS7

LAST CHANCE to enter the 2023 Disaster Challenge!
Entries close 11:59pm AEST tomorrow.
Your pitch doesn't need to be a complete solution to the wicked problem - that comes later. All we need now is your team's concept (written or video).

There are many complex reasons that affect how people respond during floods. @HazardsResearch research after the 2022 Qld & NSW floods shows social and economic factors underpin reactions.

[The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand @ConversationEDU]

Yes, we need better flood warnings. But most of us don’t or can’t evacuate from floods.

As @mel_taylor48 and colleagues (@Macquarie_Uni + @UOW) write, safety means focusing on community resilience as well as warnings https://t.co/z7WCYMap0w

Used a bushfire map in the ACT? Tell our research team from @RMIT how you found the maps and if they helped you. @ericakul

[Australian Science Media Centre @AusSMC]

🔥@HazardsResearch and @RMIT say input is needed to improve bushfire maps in the ACT and Snowy Monaro

The Canberra fires marked a pivotal moment in Australian bushfire science.

It showed that even urban communities can be in danger if close enough to the bush, but we're now better placed to respond swiftly to bushfires, writes @andegiss (@Macquarie_Uni). https://t.co/EVWJKYpV0Y

[Natural Hazards Research Australia @HazardsResearch]

Victoria, we need your input on #bushfire maps. If you live in @CardiniaShire & were affected by the 2019 Bunyip fire, we’d like to talk to learn more about how you use bushfire maps - spaces available 5-31 January, online or in person locally. Register https://t.co/cutafMy9nk

[Natural Hazards Research Australia @HazardsResearch]

Got a wicked disaster management problem that needs solving? We are planning our 2023 Disaster Challenge (focusing on operational response/innovation) and we welcome suggestions on the wicked problem to be tackled! Comment your ideas below.

Incredible golf at the #AusOpenGolf, amazing atmosphere, some great eagles. @VicGolfClub is absolute mint. Couldn’t begin to imagine what it would be like to play.

[Nathan Maddock @nathanmaddock]

#AusOpenGolf meets #Socceroos #FIFAWorldCup at @VicGolfClub this morning.

[Nathan Maddock @nathanmaddock]

Yeah he didn’t make the last round cut, but it was very cool to see Cam Smith play up close this morning at @VicGolfClub #AusOpenGolf. Enjoyed the crowd banter over this wayward drive & lack of foot wedge (after first checking no one was hit, very considerate)

[Nathan Maddock @nathanmaddock]

Brilliant short par 3 at Northern GC, the 6th, playing 110m today. #golf #Melbourne
