Over 150 people from all over Australia came to help, rebuilding damaged schools and buildings. In total, over 6000 hours of community service was done.

The eye of cyclone Larry crossed through Innisfail on the 20^th. It caused approximately $1 billion worth of damage to both crops and homes.]]> 2017-05-07 07:33:04 UTC https://padlet.com/imogenb22/cyclone_larry/wish/170343435 imogenb22 https://padlet.com/imogenb22/cyclone_larry/wish/170345871 How Tropical Cyclones Form

1. A tropical cyclone needs a cluster of thunderstorms and a warm body of water – at least 27 degrees –where it gathers its energy from.

2. The tropical ocean under the developing storm evaporates and then condenses to form clouds, releasing heat throughout the process.

3. The heat energy combined with the rotation of the Earth, gets the cyclone spinning and propels it forward.

Many habitats of animals on both land and in sea were damaged or destroyed. The strong winds uprooted trees and forests, according to parks authorities, 95% of rainforests were stripped bare where it struck the coast. Run-off from the high rainfall, ended up in the reef along with bracken, rubbish and debris. This polluted the water and combined with the rough seas, damaged coral drastically. Silt was stirred up, coating the coral and catching in animals’ lungs or gills. This damage resulted in a long recovery ahead. ]]> 2017-05-16 09:22:39 UTC https://padlet.com/imogenb22/cyclone_larry/wish/172035257 imogenb22 https://padlet.com/imogenb22/cyclone_larry/wish/172043049 Cyclone Larry had a severe impact on the economy of Queensland. Queensland relies mainly on tropical crops and tourism for income. Cyclone Larry and the weather following, ripped up and destroyed 80-90% of the banana plantations and many of the sugar and other tropical fruits, causing the prices to rise rapidly across the country. The rainfall flooded many of the coal mines near the coast, halting work and export. The aspect with the largest impact, was the drop in tourism to both the rainforest and reef. Many houses and buildings were damaged or destroyed. Over all, the estimated cost of rebuilding was nearly $1 billion.]]> 2017-05-16 10:14:57 UTC https://padlet.com/imogenb22/cyclone_larry/wish/172043049 imogenb22 https://padlet.com/imogenb22/cyclone_larry/wish/172045226 Banana Plantation damage near Innisfail]]> 2017-05-16 10:29:51 UTC https://padlet.com/imogenb22/cyclone_larry/wish/172045226 imogenb22 https://padlet.com/imogenb22/cyclone_larry/wish/172048581 Scientists say that the protected no fishing areas and 'green zones' (protected areas of the reef) should be enforced and created to help the recovery.]]> 2017-05-16 10:51:57 UTC https://padlet.com/imogenb22/cyclone_larry/wish/172048581 Responses and Relief imogenb22 https://padlet.com/imogenb22/cyclone_larry/wish/172054797 The response to disasters is normally the responsibility of the State in which it occurs, however, if the disaster is beyond the capacity of the states resources, the Federal Government is asked to help. The extent of the devastation caused by cyclone Larry was so widespread and unexpected that the both the Queensland and Federal Governments

decided that they should appoint someone to oversee the whole relief effort. The job was given to retired general, Peter Cosgrove. He oversaw all the different groups 450 volunteers from the State Emergency Services, the Army, the Red Cross, local government responses and many more.
