flag A resident urged councils to adopt automated river warnings after Cyclone Gabrielle killed 13, citing failed evacuations despite working personal alerts.

flag An Esk Valley resident testified at the Cyclone Gabrielle inquest, urging local councils to adopt automated river warning systems with clear trigger levels to improve flood preparedness. flag He highlighted that despite a functional personal warning system using float valves during the 2023 floods, no official evacuation orders were issued, leaving residents at risk. flag He criticized authorities for failing to act on past recommendations, including a text alert system, and regretted not posting a warning on social media. flag Coroner Erin Woolley acknowledged the value of location-based alerts used in the U.S., as the inquest continues to examine why hundreds were not evacuated during the cyclone that caused 13 deaths.
