Many children in Queensland and northern New South Wales have had their lives disrupted by ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred.
Schools were closed (about 14 were still shut as of Thursday afternoon), families hunkered down and then the clean-up and repair efforts began.
For students in Lismore, the past week will have likely brought back memories of the catastrophic floods in the area in 2022.
Our research on the Lismore floods (which is awaiting publication in two peer-reviewed journals) contains key lessons for how communities and schools can support young people after Cyclone Alfred and other disasters.
