Research is continuing to inform flood and storm safety messages that ABC Radio deliver right across the country through their emergency broadcasting.

ABC Radio began broadcasting their new Community Service Announcements for floods and storms, based on the research findings, in November 2021. They have been broadcast across the ABC Radio network throughout the two La Nina summers of 2021/22 and 2022/23, and again this summer as storms and flooding has hit up and down the east coast.
