Queensland experienced a series of major natural disasters during the summer of 2010–2011 (December–February) when more than 78% of the state was declared a disaster zone (Queensland Government 2012a). The most destructive floods hit SEQ during 10–12 January 2011, resulting in the second highest flood in Brisbane since the beginning of the 20th century.
