09.01.2022 PLEASE DON’T DRIVE THROUGH FLOODWATERS We've seen some good rainfall across our area (and the entire State) which means there is lots of water around. Regardless if you think you 'know' the road, if you see it is flooded, turn around and find a different way to get to your destination.... If it's flooded, forget it! Don’t Drive into Floodwater Don’t Walk into Floodwater Don’t Ride into Floodwater For emergency help in floods and storms, call the NSW SES on 132 500. For life-threatening emergencies call Triple Zero (000). #SES #GetReady #FloodSafe #NSWSES Picture thanks to NSW SES - Yass Unit
