22.01.2022 WE STAND WITH NYNGAN The NSW SES is the lead agency for combating flood and storms in NSW. The Nyngan Unit commemorate the flood of 1990 with April 2020 marking 30 Years since the natural disaster. It was a flood that devastated the township of Nyngan turning the town into what resembled an inland sea. The flood forced the evacuation of the township which was the largest evacuation in the history of NSW at the time, with residents fleeing with very few possessions. Nothing... within the township was spared, homes had water lapping at their eaves. Army, News and commercially owned helicopters were brought in to help with the mass evacuation, ferrying residents to nearby buses that would take them to surrounding towns which would become a temporary home. 30 years on and the town of Nyngan remembers this disaster, showing the resilience that is typical of rural Australians, coming out of the flood bigger and stronger! NSW SES Nyngan Unit stands with the community of Nyngan as we commemorate this major milestone in isolation and look forward to future events to mark the occasion.
