On 28 December 2022, Ex-Tropical Cyclone Ellie crossed over the coast of Western Australia and dumped around 500 millimetres of rain in less than a week.
River levels in the Kimberley town of Fitzroy Crossing got to almost 16 metres high.
More than 200 homes were damaged - several roads and highways too - and remote communities were left isolated. The destruction was widespread.
As the Incident Controller, Glenn Hall ESM was one of many DFES personnel in charge of coordinating emergency response efforts to help keep people out of harm’s way and deliver emergency services within that region.
Hear from Glenn about how he helped to lead the response and recovery efforts for this record breaking flooding disaster.
