Disaster Overview : From September 2010 to February 2011, Victoria, Australia experienced severe flooding due to extraordinarily heavy rainfall. This caused multiple rivers, including the Avoca, Campaspe, Loddon, Goulburn, and Wimmera rivers, to overflow. The floods affected over 100 towns and thousands of properties, many of which had been in drought for more than a decade. The Australian Red Cross mobilized over 1,300 staff and volunteers to provide support in more than 20 relief and recovery centers across the state.
