Business in Milton, Queensland devastated

Michael is still pretty frantic trying to work out exactly how to move forward. He would welcome support to get things cleaned up and repaired – and hopefully back to some level of business trading. He said that getting supplies for repair is really difficult. His electricity cannot be restored until the power switch board is replaced. It was completely submerged in flood water. This will be the case for many I suspect.

He can’t start his clean up until the insurance assessor arrives, hopefully today.

"Getting items in the local area is difficult. As you can imagine everything is in short supply due to damage or demand. So if tradesmen can pre-empt as much as possible in terms of supplies, that might help them get more done when they arrive,” Michael said. 'While electricity is being restored to some area’s it is very slow. Power generators would be helpful to many people.”

Michael is a family friend of Rotarian Jo Ragen. He is a small business owner of EmbroidMe Milton. Visit his web site at: EmbroidMe Milton
