03 / Overlapping recovery

Concurrent disasters

Top periods in this selection

Active periods use the published end date where available; otherwise a 90 day window is assumed.

04 / Repeated disruption

Recurrent disasters

Top 20 within the hazard, state and year filters. Select a council to explore it. Filled dots indicate years affected.

Gaps use event start dates, in months. Compound episodes count non-overlapping 12-month windows, anchored at the first event and including starts up to 365 days later, containing two or more declarations. Multi-hazard episodes contain two or more hazard types.

05 / A warming baseline

Hot days

Station and national heat records are independent of the disaster filters. Station counts cover 1990 to mid-October 2026.
