The Government provided various types of financial support to families in the aftermath of the November 2009 floods. Assistance was provided towards:
immediate needs such as clothing, food, bedding and emergency accommodation.
essential household items such as carpets, flooring, furniture and white goods,
essential repairs and
meeting individual's ongoing accommodation needs.
Subject to certain conditions the Government decided that support may also be available to a small number of households who are continuing to experience significant housing problems as a result of the November 2009 flooding who are considering the possibility of relocating rather than resuming living at their original home.
