Queensland floods, are you watching?

Who else is watching the news in regards to the floods in Queensland? Ive never seen anything like it. It is seriously like watching something out of a movie, its so sad! What happens to these people in regards to rebuilding their lives? Where and how do they start? How long will it take to rebuild these towns? This time last year they were in a drought and i was 10 mins away from the bushfires and now the whole state of QLD is pretty much is under water! What happens to the people that are ill in the hospitals that have been evacuated, the pregnant women and most importantly their homes? Does insurance cover this sort of thing? Airlines should be offering free flights for those that can stay with relatives interstate. Are the airlines even running? So many questions, so much heartache!
