Supporting #AusFire + #ClimateDisaster recovery steps for affected families + communities. Born in #Bellingen, stepping up for all in need. Not For Profit.

If you want to know how Lismore City Council is going 9 months post flood, last night a councillor argued against using a small part of a huge park being used for a temporary pod village to house the flood affected homeless by calling poor people pedophiles and alcoholics.

After the storms pass comes another hurdle - #rebuilding can be a chaotic #insurance and regulatory mess to navigate through. https://t.co/0MukDLE9ob #ClimateEmergency

#NaturalDisasters have a compounding effect on regional #housing availability - losses pressure trades + resources availability, delaying rebuilds/new builds. How can we be better than this> https://t.co/dWwkiNFLmQ

@AdamBandt in @SatPaper "we are now the only defenders of progressive social democracy. And I think there is still a big, beating progressive heart in Australia.” A worthy read: https://t.co/j1vaZQHhVE

The Flood Inquiry would like to hear your story. If you’ve been impacted by the recent floods, either directly or indirectly, have your voice heard as part of the NSW Flood Inquiry and submit your feedback online.

@SatPaper @KZiwica Thank you @KZiwica for giving this issue attention. Advocacy is an important part of NGO work to create better outcomes for the people we serve and assist. #Ausfires + #LismoreFloods affected communities need a voice.

I can not believe the ppl of Lismore are calling out for cardboard to line their house walls in order to have somewhere warm to live. I'm lost for words and very saddened by this.

@RonniSalt @Joy48 Trick was getting as much bang for your $ as possible, in solid enough core structure. Partners had viable projects running w shipping containers for v modest $. More in https://t.co/NDZW1KGMam

[Phoenix Foundations @phoenix_fdns]

@RonniSalt @Joy48 For an example, see https://t.co/AYshOmE39j - more robust structure needs to be considered for long term, we saw value in a modular core that could be expanded as recovery $ allowed. Pitched to LGAs for pilot. 🦗

After #ausfires we started our #ruralbridgechallenge to help work through the issues of private bridge losses, destroying property access. Problem just got bigger with #Floods2022 #lismorefloods2022 https://t.co/Uu73X2wMHU

[NSW Fair Trading @NSW_FairTrading]

Flood victims and residents across the state are warned to be wary of flood recovery scams. Previous natural disasters have given rise to rogue scammers engaging in fraudulent behaviour. Follow the link to make a complaint or call 13 32 20 #NSWFloods #NSWFlood

[Phoenix Foundations @phoenix_fdns]

@TheNakedFarmers Ahhh, damn. So many #ausfire bridge repairs after these floods are going to have been pushed to their limits.

[laughingmind @laughingmind]

#LismoreFloods = inspiring #sponvol effort - if you're heading into the area, be prepared. Spotted this good post with my @phoenix_fdns hat on, sharing here for repost. #disastermgt pattern must ensure needs | supply are matched. Short 🧵

[Phoenix Foundations @phoenix_fdns]

Good #vanlife initiative for #coraki #LismoreFloods - housing supply there is going to be dire.

@TheNakedFarmers Ugh, sorry to see this Sophie after all you’ve gone through. Here’s to better days ahead. Hope your dozer intervention isn’t too far off.

[Phoenix Foundations @phoenix_fdns]

‘bureaucracy-induced trauma’ sums the experience up well. Thx for keeping a gaze on #ausfire recovery issues @GuardianAus https://t.co/XFjQ6vgwET #cobargo

[Phoenix Foundations @phoenix_fdns]

Care to explain or rationalise this @BradHazzard ? These communities have been through so much pain already from #ausfires - let’s pls ensure they get care in what’s ahead. @GladysB
