Understanding storm damage
1 min read

YORKE Peninsula Council is working closely with the state government to understand the extent of recent storm damage.

"Yorke Peninsula farmers are among those who have reported storms impacting on crops and infrastructure," a council spokesperson said.

"Council and PIRSA are committed to a community-led recovery, which puts the focus on those who have been affected -- their needs and at their pace.

"This recovery style is known to be the most effective and will provide opportunities, build future capacity and improve resilience.

"PIRSA will continue working with council to gather information, coordinate on-the-ground assistance and provide advice.

"Council and PIRSA are committed to supporting growers to identify their own recovery needs, and empowering them to lead recovery activities."

The spokesperson said primary producers can access the PIRSA Recovery Hotline by dialling 1800 931 314 and pressing #1.

"All primary producers are also invited to participate in a survey to help the state government understand the impacts of the storms, available at www.pir.sa.gov.au/storms, which closes 11.59pm Monday, November 22," the spokesperson said.

"Details about storm damage will help identify the type of recovery support required.

"PIRSA has been working closely with SA Health and SAPOL so specialist agricultural insurance assessors can enter South Australia.

"Family and business mentors are also now available in the region to provide free, informal, confidential and independent help, with more information available at www.pir.sa.gov.au/fabs."
