NRMA Insurance today called on the Federal Government to urgently allocate greater investment to disaster mitigation projects to protect lives, property and critical infrastructure across the country as it releases its fourth Wild Weather Tracker.
New research in the NRMA Insurance Wild Weather Tracker Report (Tracker) has revealed an unprecedented summer of extreme weather, with the recent severe storms and floods devastating communities in southeast Queensland and northern New South Wales. While South Australia experienced a flood emergency in January and parts of Western Australia sweltered through the hottest summer on record, resulting in bushfires across the state.
