Short summary
Two flood events occurred in the Hawkesbury-Nepean valley in 2020 and 2021, however, the impact of each of those events was different in terms of lives lost (2 fatalities compared to none) and economic losses (more than 2 billion compared to less than 1 billion AUD). Reasons for the variation in impacts are explored by determining the inundation extents, and examining antecedent and climatic conditions. We found that antecedent conditions exerted a major control on the size of the impact.
