The urgent help required to assist the Durack communities seriously impacted by ex-Tropical Cyclone Seroja is on its way.
The Federal Member for Durack, the Hon Melissa Price, is proud that the Morrison Government has been able to respond so quickly and arrange for some immediate practical support.
“The Australian Defence Force is well drilled at getting onto the ground and being able to offer fast assistance with all the necessities to support these impacted communities to get the clean-up started, providing anything from transport emergency services to food and water supplies,” Ms Price said.
“The ADF has provided these efficient and important services and support in recent bushfire and flood emergencies and I welcome their skills and assistance to assist these Durack Mid-West communities.”
There are further discussions underway regarding further assistance from the Morrison Government, in line with support provided following previous natural disasters.
“Along with the Morrison Government, I look forward to being able to support my communities in the coming days and months as the significant damage is assessed and repaired,” Ms Price said.
“As communities begin the challenging clean-up process, I urge everyone involved to please take all necessary safety precautions and stay safe.”
