Echuca, Victoria. Flood protection is isolating homes for sacrifice.

G’day ATS

I just watched, on channel nine news (New South Wales) a segment on how an earthwork has been constructed in the township of Echuca in the state of Victoria.

I was thinking, wouldn’t it be appropriate for, the owners of the houses that are being sacrificed by this earthwork to claim insurance now? It appears their properties fate has been sealed and I would imagine some expedient liquidity of their asset should be considered.

What do you reckon?

When people need to be relocated under eminent domain for a civil project of that sorts they are given a sum comparable to the value of the property they're losing. No insurance company would pay out for that, as it's a known project that the residents have been notified of.

The news reporter made it sound like an on the fly project and the peeps were just caught up as collateral damage.

👆🏻 Could only find this.

That’s one and the same different reporter, same event. thank you for the link.

What do you think? Is there going to be some depth to the establishment response to this? (Eg. after care) or will they be like bushfire ‘victims’

Ah, yeah, that's completely different. From the information in the opening post I thought it was a dam being built and folks needing to be relocated due to the reservoir filling.

They probably can't file a claim until damage is done then, even if the property is going to be a total loss.
