Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said that his administration would support the people of Western Australia state as unprecedented floodings isolated remote areas there.

Albanese said that his government was “working constructively” with the Western Australian government on the crisis in the sparsely populated region that also includes the resort town of Broome.

He said, “These floods are having a devastating impact, many of these communities … are communities that do it tough, and the resources simply aren’t there on the ground,”. “My government stands ready to provide whatever support is requested.”

Emergency officials in Western Australia reported that Australian Defense Force aircraft were being employed to aid flood-affected areas and that Chinook helicopters were headed that way to assist in relocating affected citizens.

The state was no longer experiencing severe weather, according to the nation’s weather forecaster, but the situation would still be watched closely and additional warnings would be sent if necessary.

Reports state that some areas have had four significant flood emergencies since last year.
