The police in the Northern Territory of Australia issued a warning about crocodiles after severe flooding, evacuating over 1,000 people.

The police in the Northern Territory of Australia issued a warning on Sunday about the 'ubiquity of crocodiles' following severe flooding that led to the evacuation of over 1,000 people. The local police commander, Shaun Gill, emphasized the seriousness of the situation, noting that at least 90 households were left without electricity.

Helicopters and planes have been sent to isolated communities to support evacuation operations. The town of Katherine has recorded the worst flooding since 1998, and several schools will remain closed due to the weather conditions.

The Northern Territory, a region with a low population density, frequently faces extreme weather events, and experts warn that climate change is amplifying the risks of natural disasters.
