Special Edition: The Ripple Effect of Devastating Floods
Listen now
Description
In this special edition of F&T Time, we speak to FTMA Members, David & Mark Sly, Directors of Sly Bros who have been impacted by the recent flood disaster in South East Queensland and Northern NSW. In the community of Woodburn alone, 95% of the residential and all businesses have been destroyed and they are not the only town in the area with sad statistics like this. This catastrophic storm was not just a flood but a disaster for the entire Northern Rivers Region.  In this episode we discuss what happened, what the real impact is and what must be done to ensure this flood doesn’t become a business, town and region ending event. Eight employees of Sly Bros have lost everything as a result of the devastating floods. David and Mark have set up a GoFundMe for their eight employees.
