Heavy rains cause monumental flooding in New South Wales, prompting natural disaster declaration in Australia.

A natural disaster has been declared in Australia following extreme floods in New South Wales, which have caused at least one confirmed death and multiple other people to go missing. Over four months’ worth of rain has fallen in just two days, with the hardest hit areas reporting washed away farms, destroyed roads, and a significant number of homes and businesses cut off from power. The emergency services are struggling to reach those in need due to dangerous conditions, and further flash floods are expected. Insurance brokers in the region say the frequent flooding makes it difficult for homeowners to obtain insurance coverage in vulnerable areas.
