Lord Mayor’s Distress Relief Fund appeal for the Kimberley Floods is now open for public donation.
Destruction and property damage across the Kimberley region caused by the flood emergency has led to the activation of the Lord Mayor’s Distress Relief Fund (LMDRF).
People in the Kimberley are experiencing a one-in-100-year flood event, the worst flooding Western Australia has ever seen.
More than 100 people have been rescued from the floodwaters, which continue to rise at communities in the Fitzroy River Catchment including at Looma, Willare and Camballin.
The clean-up efforts are expected to be both complex and costly.
The LMDRF is the recognised state emergency fund and provides relief for personal hardship and distress arising from natural disasters occurring within Western Australia.
The Fund has been activated to raise and coordinate donations to financially support the communities affected by the Kimberley Floods.
