Remember there is only so much you can do in one day. Take care of yourself – help is on its way.
ROADS
Roads continue to be a challenge with lots of damage, slips, and washouts. Repairs are underway but this work will take a while. We can't emphasise enough essential trips only. If there are road closures that are affecting your ability to manage and care for stock, please contact us so that we can work with the local authorities to get you safe access.
Remember safety first. You, your family, and your neighbor’s well-being is paramount
If life, health, or property is in danger, call 111.
