Alice Springs resident whose home was destroyed welcomes funding support
Alice Springs resident left without home after 96km/h winds tore off her roof in Monday's storm has welcomed joint Commonwealth and Northern Territory government disaster relief funding.
Brooke Klarenbeek, an Alice Springs resident, has welcomed support from the NT and federal governments for her home, which was destroyed in a recent storm. Her insurance claim is among many filed in Alice Springs after the event. Ms Klarenbeek described the terrifying moment her roof was ripped off during the storm, which brought 96 km/h winds and hail.
She currently resides in her lounge room, surrounded by debris and damage. She hopes her insurance will cover the repairs, as she is unsure of how long she will remain in the damaged home. The insurance council reports that 400 claims have been made in Alice Springs since the storm. Brooke expressed relief at the disaster recovery funding, noting that the $16,000 assistance would go a long way.
