Communities will receive culturally targeted assistance to help them recover from last month's devastating floods in Western Australia's far north.
Working in teams of four, government-appointed community members will help Bunuba, Gooniyandi, Walmajarri and Nyikina communities in the Kimberley region to access disaster relief in their preferred language. They will also assist with repatriation efforts.
"The importance of local knowledge and experience cannot be understated," Kimberley state MP Divina D'Anna said.
