Cyclone Ita's impact on the society was devastating. Debris scattered the roads, roofs were ripped off houses and powerlines came down.  Daryl Camp from Emergency Management Queensland said that damage in the main streets of Cooktown was less than expected but it was still very dangerous. Many people took shelter in cyclone shelters; in Hope Vale more than half the population did so. Queensland's Emergency Services Minister Jack Dempsey said, "This is an extreme event and it has the possibility to take lives and the potential to severely damage property in North Queensland."

Cyclone Ita's force damaged the Great Barrier Reef but one area suffered the most; the Ribbon Reefs. Parts of the reefs did not survive when the class 5 cyclone hit, flattening some areas to rubble. "You have such channelled force in some areas which has completely smashed those sites, but 50 metres away there's a site with really quite fragile fan corals which haven't been affected hardly at all," said Richard Vevers, project director for the Catlin Seaview Survey.

As the cyclone moved it brought wind and heavy rain which then caused major flooding. esidents in the Northern Queensland coastal towns were told to prepare for possible flash floods and strong winds of up to 100 kilometres per hour.

How did Cyclone Ita form?
Tropical cyclones are formed over a body of warm water. The water vapour above the water will heat up and start to rise. Cold water vapour will take the place of the rising water vapour and continue to heat up and then rise. This cycle will continue, eventually making a storm. The spin of the Earth will cause the storm clouds to rotate. This will start to form the cyclone as well as the continuous cycle of the heating of water vapour.

Hitting the Ribbon Reefs first, Cyclone Ita then moved towards the mainland, hit Cooktown and then moved down to Cape Tribulation

from the Government...
The government made major contributions to support the residents of Cooktown in the cleanup and rebuilding of the community. They:

Allowed grants of up to $5,000 for freight subsidies (transportation of the debris)

Provided immediate financial support emergency funding for farmers

Allowed concessional loans of up to $250,000 for the residents to start re-building

from Social Service Organisations ...
Mobile Outreach teams also moved towards Cooktown, Laura, Wujal Wujal and Hope Vale on Cape York which were hit by the cyclone. The teams helped to support the residents by:

Providing uninsured homeowners and uninsured cyclone-affected residents with Structural Assistance,  Essential Household Contents and Essential Services Safety Reconnection Scheme etc. grants.

"People have suffered some big hits, but they're getting back to normal and we're helping them with that recovery journey." Kevin Keefe, Red Cross Queensland spokesman.

Cyclone Ita devastated some of North Queensland's major industries. This includes agricultural and tourism industries. The banana and sugarcane plantations were among those most critically affected. "It appears that the damage bill is going to run into the tens of millions of dollars but I guess we won't know the final figure right up until harvest," said Canegrowers chairman Paul Schembri.
