Flood Devastation Hits Australia
Queensland -- A series of floods hit Australia, beginning in December 2010 in the State of Queensland including its capital city, Brisbane. At least seventy towns and over 200,000 people have been affected. The estimated reduction in Australia's GDP is about $30 billion.
Victoria -- High intensity rains in January 2011 caused major flooding across the western and central parts of the Australian state of Victoria. Many of the towns were previously affected by floods in September 2010, however the 2011 floods affected at least 4 times as many properties. To compound an already troubled area, a tropical cyclone, Cyclone/Hurricane Yasi made landfall in northern Queensland in February 2010. Cyclone Yasi had sustained winds of 125 mph (205 km/h) with gusts of 180 of 180 mph (285 km/h). Based on these wind speeds Yasi was classified as a Category 5 cyclone using the Australian scale and a Category 4 using the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale typically used to classify Western Hemisphere tropical cyclones.
Beginning in July 2010 Pakistan was hit with heavy monsoons rains that affected the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh, lower Punjab as well as parts of Balochistan. The United Nations estimates over 20 million people are suffering and homeless with over 160,000 square kilometers (62,000 sq/m) affected as a result of the flooding, exceeding the combined total of the affected of 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the 2005 Kashmir earthquake and the 2010 Haiti earthquake. The Flood Fund is committed to the relief, reconstruction and rehabilitation of Pakistan's tragic flood conditions.
Officials estimate the total economic impact to be as much as 43 billion USD.
