- In June 2007, severe storms and flash flooding resulted in a natural disaster in the Hunter Valley region of NSW, Australia. We describe the magnitude of the disaster, the resultant public health threats and the environmental health response. The disaster highlights the unique contribution that the environmental health profession can make at the forefront of the response and recovery phases of a natural disaster.
