The SA government will book emergency accommodation in safe locations along the River Murray as floodwaters continue to rise, while flood markers will be removed in Renmark after the council complained they were sparking fear within the local community.
After checking almost 5,000 properties in the Riverland and Murraylands, about 500 people from 260 households have said they may need emergency accommodation that is being secured by the state government at a cost of $1.2 million.
