Abstract
In January 2011 extreme flooding occurred in the South-east corner of Queensland resulting in over 17000 homes inundated in the cities of Brisbane and Ipswich. In the weeks following the floods, Geoscience Australia conducted a field survey to assess the scale of the damage on individual homes. The engineering survey was then supplemented with GA's first social survey. This report presents the results of the survey investigating the impacts of the 2011 floods on flooded households in the Brisbane and Ipswich City Councils, combined with the results of a follow up survey conducted following the 2013 floods in the same area. The report chapters cover: warnings and risk perception; preparation, evacuation and returning home; damage and repair; financial implications; and medical impacts, mental health and social support.
