24.01.2022 Like - Share - Prepare Storm Season is here and runs October through to March every year. Storms and floods cause considerable damage throughout our communities. Approximately 28% of the land area of NSW is subject to flooding. Urban areas, including metropolitan, suburbs and towns have specific flood risks including impacts of flash flooding. Flash flooding is incredibly dangerous. It is important to remember that floodwater can be faster flowing and deeper than it appears.... Never drive, ride or walk through floodwater.
