Murraylands and Riverland Regional Development Australia (RDA) agency chair Jodie Hawkes shared that we are dealing with cleaning up and other issues such as depleted bank balances, lost customers, fixing damage to buildings, etc. However, she assured that we have a recovery plan and are working on it.
