Objective

Disaster Relief Australia (DRA) – Adelaide DRT, is launching a Service Project in the Cudlee Creek bushfire area to continue assisting with the relief & recovery from the 2019/2020 fires. This will be of particular importance as there remains significant recovery work and the new fire season is now upon us.

After Op Hannaford in Jan/Feb and the last Service Project in August, there are still many property owners that remain in need of assistance. In mid November an attempt to launch Operation Mason, utilising a large number of our members from across the country had to be postponed due to recent COVID lockdown/restrictions in South Australia.

The Adelaide DRT is now responding by launching this Service Project, including multiple iterations in the new year.

PROPOSED TASKING

  • Chainsaw work
  • Clearing of burnt trees
  • General clean-up of affected properties
