Floods across the state of Victoria have damaged thousands of homes and left communities reeling with the consequences.

Today, volunteers are out in troves, helping those impacted.

As parts of Victoria continue to face the worst floods in more than a decade other parts are beginning the road to recovery.

Premier Daniel Andrews has pledged over $300 million in flood relief, as his Government kicks off operation Clean up.

Promising over $40,000 to uninsured residents whose homes have been severely damaged.

This will go towards repairs and replacing essential contents that have fallen victim to the floods.

There will be a further $165 million for road repairs.

On top of this, there will be another $150 million for a broader cleanup of impacted communities.

There will be about $21 million for critical support like health, wellbeing and counselling.

Residents can also apply for a one-off $1000 federal cash payout.

There will also be community centre set up in affected areas to provide shelter to those in need.

While many areas are now focusing on the long road to recovery ahead, some suburbs are still seeing rising water levels.

This is a nightmare for many people who have had a pretty turbulent time just trying to get back on their feet following the pandemic and prolonged lockdowns here in Melbourne.

And not to mention the rising cost of living already.

But one thing is evident during this time of crisis, the generosity and compassion of people is front and centre.

Thousands of volunteers are working day and night to help and support each other.
