With the use of modern technology and experience, while maintaining integrity and professionalism, Forenx have been involved in several major catastrophes that have occurred in Australia since 2016, including the Broken Hill hailstorms (2016 and 2022), Townsville floods (2019), bushfires (2019-2020 in NSW, VIC, SA), cyclone Seroja (WA) 2021, Rawson earthquake (VIC) 2021 and the recent 2022/2023 flooding.
