 any new confidence that's going to come back with another flight? I am and as you know at the moment the flood peak is due to hit there some time after about 10 o'clock today and I think we're at about 8.1 metres now, the projected flood height. We have extra police on standby in fact after discussions with the acting Premier this morning we've arranged for one of our aircraft to be on standby we have 10 police all ready to go if we need extra police out there but as you know Rome is not cut off from the west so we can bring police in by road as well from Charleville. The LBMG the local disaster management group has met twice this morning and is due to meet later on this morning to deal with the the flood crisis has unfolded. What's the logistics of the flood crisis? The evacuation centre has already been stood up as I understand it at the local RSL so it's ready to go should people need to leave their homes. It's about 280 homes that are in the high risk zone out there but that could mean from inundation levels so up floorboards right down to just water in the water in the yards. But there's been no evacuations? No but people have been told about the impending danger to them to the risk to them there has been an emergency alert go out this morning by SMS and phone message to the affected areas of Roma and we're asking people to take action themselves if they feel that they can move to either friends homes in the higher areas of town or now with the evacuation centre open they can actually go to the RSL. I spoke and I should say I spoke with Mayor Rob Luffman the Mayor of Roma this morning he's a very good mayor he handled the disasters earlier this year very very competently very very well he indicated to me there that all is in hand I assured him that the state is there prepared to do whatever is required and the active commissioner has indicated the resources that we've got there already but the mayor has indicated to us that at this point in time he's very confident about their ability to respond to these matters but he is a very good mayor dealing with these issues as well. Are we concerned that this water could travel further down any other towns? Certainly the water system bungalow creek flows further down into the into the area of Sirat St George but we're hoping that with the lack of rain and we don't believe there'll be any further rain at this stage that's the current news from the weather bureau we're hoping that the flood will dissipate before it reaches any other major centre. It's just been an amazing few months hasn't it and we're not out of the woods yet I mean you know at any time and again this proves that any time we can be faced with these crisis but with our planning and with the support of all levels of government I think that we're in a very strong position to respond appropriately to these threats. You know I've been in a strike a lot this is April and you know out of the wet season and you've got another flood and so you know as the Premier says Queenslanders do it tough.
