25.01.2022 Well done #NSWSES Ballina Unit General Land Rescue members.

25.01.2022 If its Flooded, Forget it! Some great Plan B options....... Turn around, look for different way home Pull over, wait for the water to go down Call your child's school, or work or your mates at the coffee shop - tell them you'll be running a bit late... It's just not worth the risk - your family need you to come home safe n sound! #Floodsafe #NSWSES #Stormsafe See more

23.01.2022 Storm season is here again. Storms can clear heat and humidity and give the garden a refreshing drink, but they also bring with them the danger of flooding. Over summer and always, let's keep well away from flooded roads and causeways - remember, if it's flooded, forget it!

23.01.2022 Severe thunderstorms are likely this afternoon and again Saturday afternoon/evening. Once again we could see hail and heavy rain which could lead to flash flood...ing. Damaging winds also possible. Best to pop your cars under cover and to bring in any outdoor items that may fly around in winds. Don't forget the kids and furry ones too! #stormsafety #northernrivers #tweed #clarencevalley #getready #RichmondValley #byron #ballina
