Abstract
The severe weather events that caused flooding in Brisbane in early 2011 had widespread effects on residential, commercial and industrial areas. This study focuses on the environmental, social and economic impacts on the industrial area of Rocklea, based on interviews with flood-affected businesses, photo documentation, and other information. The Queensland government response to future risk management and potential for flood-proofing in this area is examined. The findings have broad implications for understanding of perception of risk, risk communication, and impacts beyond individual enterprises.
