THE October 2022 floods have left a mark on the region, with Mooroopna one of the worst areas affected with homes and businesses swamped with water.
To help combat the next flood the Mooroopna Community Recovery Committee is calling on residents to participate in a Mooroopna Community Disaster Preparedness Survey before Monday, December 23.
“What we’ve found is that we know anecdotally stuff about floods, but where’s our data? We know that people were unprepared. We want to know what the community want the next time this happens,” said Jan Phillips, Mooroopna Community Recovery Committee member and manager of MEAC.
“What we’re trying to say is you can be part of it. You can have input. You can have a say, and it will be documented, and it will be part of our bigger picture plan to provide information to the community that will help in preparing and hopefully some recovery as well.”
You can find the survey at:
Mooroopna Education and Activity Centre (MEAC)
