February and March 2022 saw close to 1,000 schools in the Northern Rivers region temporarily close, with some schools unable to return to their original locations. The disaster resulted in damaged infrastructure and educational materials, displaced families and impacted teachers.

Southern Cross University researchers have launched the Floods + Me project to work with young people in gathering their experiences during and following the natural disaster and its impact on their schooling.

Dr Simone Blom and Dr Liberty de Rivera speak on the SCU Buzz podcast about the research project and their upcoming education framework aimed at helping schools prepare for floods.
