Flood Response and Recovery in Fitzroy Crossing NEEDS ASSESSMENT
In the wake of the devastating January 2023 floods and their catastrophic impact on our remote community of #FitzroyCrossing, Marninwarntikura Women's Resource Centre, in collaboration with Royal Far West, invited UNICEF Australia to carry out a thorough and comprehensive assessment focused on the needs of our children.
The report, launched this week in Canberra, delivers critical insights into the flood's impact on children and their families, and it charts a clear path for our community to strengthen disaster resilience and response.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to Senator Malarndirri McCarthy, Minister for Indigenous Australians, for her powerful address, which highlighted the flood response and shared experiences from her own community in times of disaster.
The event united key decision-makers, sector leaders, and community representatives. The discussions emphasized the urgent need to prioritize the well-being of children and communities in disaster planning, policies, and investments.
