EMERGENCY recovery specialist Rob Gordon will be guest speaker at a Loddon Shire community dinner next month.
Dr Gordon has worked with communities recovering from fire and floods since the 1983 Ash Wednesday bushfires.
He will speak in Boort on different ways people may be thinking and feeling following the October flood emergency in the Loddon.
Dr Gordon will be joined by Sally Cunningham from the National Centre for Farmer Health and Anna McGee from Rural Financial Counselling Service Victoria West.
RFCS was among the first assistance agencies on the ground in Loddon communities after waters receded and the team continues to make weekly visits to local communities.
A shire spokesperson said the flood recovery team was also in the early stages of planning for future events.
“Future events will be based on community needs identified over the coming weeks and months,” they said.
“This (first) event is for all shire residents, we encourage everyone to attend and get the benefit of renowned speaker, Rob Gordon, and our other guest speakers.
“Council is working with State and Federal Government colleagues to source funding for this event.”
