Australia was not adequately prepared for Cyclone Tracy, which struck Darwin on Christmas Day in 1974. The cyclone's unexpected intensity and rapid development caught many residents off guard, and the region lacked modern building codes and emergency response plans. The devastation led to significant changes in disaster preparedness and response strategies in Australia, including better infrastructure standards and improved early warning systems. The aftermath highlighted the need for comprehensive disaster management policies to protect communities from such natural disasters.
