    Abstract

    Flood safety messages used extensively and consistently in Australia are 'If it's flooded, forget it', 'Never drive, ride or walk through floodwater', 'Don't play in flood water'. These messages are clear, unambiguous and definitive. The problem is, people continue to enter floodwater.
