From tomorrow, 50 ADF Personnel will assist with the flood recovery in Katherine.
The Northern Territory Government and Katherine community welcomes the additional support.
The Federal Government has approved the Northern Territory Government's request for Australian Defence Force support.
RAAF Base Tindal will provide 50 ADF personnel for the next 10 days, to be embedded within the Katherine Town Council flood recovery team.
Member for Katherine, Jo Hersey, said the Northern Territory Government and Katherine community welcomes the support.
"The people of Katherine have showed our community spirit at its finest, from hero Police jumping out of helicopters onto cars to save people, the Katherine Club providing meals for volunteers and emergency service workers, and One Set Builders ferrying people over a flooded Florina road in their tinnies," she said.
"But our people are exhausted, and we need more support, the announcement of ADF support is very welcome."
From tomorrow, the Northern Territory Government will be providing 14 low-risk prisoners with 4 corrections officers to assist with the clean up on the ground.
