Question Title

* 1. The extreme weather event that occurred from 28 September to 5 October 2016 had a significant impact across SA, including the Far North SA region.

Regional Development Australia Far North (RDAFN) are endeavouring to capture these impacts and we encourage all Local Governments, businesses and organisations across Far North SA to take the time and complete this survey.

South Australia's economic future relies on resilience in our power and communications systems. Information collected informs the public debate as to what Governments might spend to mitigate future impacts of such events.  
 
Results of this survey will be collated to form a region-wide submission to the State Government's Call For Submission into SA Extreme Weather Events.

Please complete this survey by Friday 25 November 2016.

Please note that any information provided will be treated in a confidential manner and the answers will not be linked to the respondent when collating or reporting results.
