00:02A long way from the horror unfolding at home.
00:06A lot of people lost their home, belongings, what they work for.
00:12They need to keep calm, be together.
00:18For the second time in as many months, Daly River residents receiving no warning of the massive flood that was
00:24about to hit, and then given just minutes to flee.
00:28It just snuck up on us, no one was prepared for it, there was no warning.
00:33And that's the frightening thing, there was nothing in place, so it was all a rush.
00:38For decades there's been conversations around moving the natural disaster prone community to higher ground.
00:44The sheer magnitude of this flood has become a catalyst, renewing calls to get that done or to build an
00:50evacuation centre closer to home.
00:53Instead of waiting for it to be on top of us, there needs to be some sort of thing in
00:57place that, you know, alarm goes off, you know, warnings or something prior.
01:03Move the whole town, take it away somewhere else, on the higher ground, keep us safe from coming here.
01:12The experience in Darwin adding to the trauma.
01:16The bloke turned up with his two summer sword.
01:21People were scared in that building.
01:24People were running out the back door and they can call you, anything.
01:28They could be driving past and just, yeah, saying something at you.
01:33It happened.
01:34Police say it won't be tolerated.
01:37It's never acceptable for people to be exposed to racist, to derogatory, intimidating, threatening behaviour.
01:42It never is.
01:43Hoping to get home as soon as they can.
01:46It's not really pleasant or whatever they can.
01:46It's not stressful.
01:47I feel like you don't have to be a bit exposed.
01:47But it will happen in life.
01:47This has this place.
01:47You don't have to be a bit violent,
