Recovery

Kevin Tinker from

Cyclone Response and Recovery.
I welcome other community minded neighbours to contact me who might be interested in forming a Community Resilience Group for our suburb.

I have been very active the last 3months mainly focussing on networking to support the Esk Valley residents. This networking involved my contacts with Nourished4Nil, Freedom Lovers HB, Voices for Freedom, Civil Defence, the Zeb Jackson clean up crew, the River Of Silt clean up crew and several others. Clean up crews are still looking for volunteers so they can operate a rotational system as we still have to get on with our lives to pay the bills. Please contact me if you can help from digging out silt, making lunch for the crews, driving a digger, truck, water blaster or vacuum cleaner to skills with forklift, chain saws etc.

This recovery is going to take a minimum of 2 years to get the basic rail, road, power and phone connections back to some level of normal. For many residents it is a case of never being able to recover where they now own only the clothes on their backs and items donated.

I am a volunteer with the Civil Defence Emergency Management Group and wish to focus on taking our suburb ahead to a level of initial response to a disaster without depending on government agencies.
