Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has stressed that the state’s flood crisis is far from over, with more rain forecast in coming days. Andrews announced additional disaster relief assistance on Tuesday, following a visit to the flood-hit town of Shepparton. Emergency warnings remain in place in Rochester, Shepparton and other towns in the region’s flood zone, while evacuation orders remain in place for residents of towns near the Goulburn River. Evacuation orders have also been issued for Barmah and Lower Moira, while flood-hit Echuca residents are building a massive levee amid expectations that the Murray River will peak within days.
