I am not sure if the witness has further referred to fishermen but can she clarify the situation with regard to farmers? I made enquires on behalf of someone whose land - as opposed to the family home - has been affected by flooding. If fuel, for example, on a person's land is destroyed, can he or she receive funding towards new fuel in order to keep his or her home heated? Is there flexibility there? If someone is a farmer and the house and farm are close together and the two issues overlap, will the Department representatives clarify that situation and what would be available?
