LDMG moves to lean forward
The Local Disaster Management Group (LDMG) met yesterday (Monday) at 1pm and moved to lean forward, following the latest update from members and agencies.
Chair of the LDMG Lyn McLaughlin thanked everyone involved in the response to ex-TC Kirrily.
“I want to express my sincere thanks to everyone involved in the recent weather event," Cr McLaughlin said.
“Thank you to all who volunteered and assisted their family, friends and neighbours. To the SES Volunteers, Ergon Energy and the Burdekin Shire Council staff for leaving their homes and giving up their time to help the community. Their efforts do not go unnoticed and are greatly appreciated.
“I would also like to thank the community for your hard work in preparing your homes and your family for the disaster season.
"Council staff have been working to ensure our community services are operational with most of Council’s services back to business as usual.
“The LDMG will continue to monitor the affects from ex-TC Kirrily and will provide regular updates to the public as needed via Council’s website, Disaster Dashboard and the Burdekin Disaster and Emergency Information facebook page.”
