Large areas of the state are again facing floods, with an additional threat in eastern parts of Gippsland from now-extinguished bushfires. EPA Victoria has advice for communities preparing for another emergency situation. "On Tuesday morning we were giving advice to the Gippsland community about managing smoke and your health. Now, almost immediately we're reminding people from those areas and now other parts of the state that all flood waters are contaminated. Avoid contact not just because of the dangers of debris, but also of disease," said EPA Chief Environmental Scientist Prof Mark Taylor.
