Description: The 2021-2022 flood "season" was traumatic for the community of Gunnedah, with the Namoi River peaking above the Bureau of Meteorology major flood level, resulting in significant inundation of businesses and dwellings. In response to its experiences in dealing with disadvantaged sections of the community, Gunnedah Family Support distributed a survey instrument to develop a sense of community expectations and experiences before, during, and after the November 2021 flood event. In May 2022, Gunnedah Family Support gave permission for postgraduate coursework students from the University of Newcastle's Master of Disaster Resilience and Sustainable Development program to access and analyse de-identified data from their survey for the students' professional practice research project. Two of the students took up the opportunity, whilst a third student chose to look at a closely related topic. This report, together with its annexures provide both a digest of their findings together with the underlying detail that informs them.
