Loddon Mayor Dan Straub has thanked local communities for their efforts during the flood emergency.
He said
I WOULD like to congratulate the communities in all affected areas for their tremendous effort in banding together and supporting each other during these tough times.
All our communities have been there for each other. This includes the large number of volunteers who came together and provided amazing support, including tireless efforts to help wherever they were needed – be it helping set up relief centres, sandbagging, building levees, and much more. These volunteers provided hours of support.
We should all feel proud to be part of such a wonderful Loddon community, a community who is there for each other, that knew what needed to be done and made sure it happened.
I’d also like to acknowledge and congratulate Loddon Shire staff, as well as the emergency services response that we’ve seen enact the preparedness throughout the shire.
The emergency response effort here in Loddon Shire has been outstanding. Council has been co-ordinating through a chain of command via the Incident Control Centre (ICC), through to our emergency services such as SES and CFA groups, too.
They’ve really done a fantastic job in
co-ordinating that effort for our communities and really directing priorities in saving a lot of homes and businesses through the area.
