23.01.2022 BE AWARE - FALLING TREES Fire affected areas and gusty winds are a recipe for trees and branches to fall. We have seen many trees falling throughout fire affect...ed areas in the past few days. We are asking the community to stay vigilant and alert to the danger of falling trees, particularly around roads and trails. Thunderstorms are predicted for the next few days from tomorrow, with rain comes an increase in the chances of trees to fall as the ground begins to soften. Stay safe and dont go into fire affected areas Attached Thunderstom Forecast for Wed 15th January

Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology TOP PRIORITY FOR IMMEDIATE BROADCAST Severe Weather Warning for HEAVY RAINFALL For people in South West Slopes, Riverina, Australian Capital Territory and parts of Southern Tablelands, Central West Slopes and Plains, Lower Western, Upper Western and Snowy Mountains Forecast Districts. Issued at 3:12 pm Tuesday, 3 March 2020. HEAVY RAIN WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.FOR PARTS OF INLAND AND SOUTH-EAST NSW. Plan Image Weather Situation: Ex-Tropical Cyclone Esther is approaching New South Wales, deepening a trough over the western inland. Esther is expected to enter north-west NSW during Wednesday, moving over the south-east of the state on Thursday, intensifying rainfall over parts of inland and south-east NSW as it crosses. HEAVY RAINFALL which may lead to FLASH FLOODING may develop across parts of inland and southeast New South Wales later Wednesday and during Thursday. Parts of the Upper Western, Lower Western, Riverina, Lower Central West, Southern Slopes, Snowy Mountains, Southern Tablelands and Australian Capital Territory may be affected. Localised higher totals are likely to be exacerbated by thunderstorms, which are most likely from Wednesday afternoon into Thursday. Heavy rainfall over elevated parts of the warning area may result in localised landslips. A Flood Watch is also current for the Murrumbidgee, Tumut, Queanbeyan and Bulubula Rivers, with Minor Flooding possible. In addition Flood Warnings are in place for river systems in the Upper Western, resulting from previous rainfall. Conditions are expected to ease by Friday, as Ex-Tropical Cyclone Esther moves away over the Tasman Sea.

It may also contain debris such as ash, soil, trees and rocks. * After bushfires, heavy rain and the loss of foliage can make the ground soft and heavy, leading to a greater chance of landslides. * Stay vigilant and monitor conditions.

05.01.2022 Know your risk If you live close to a creek, river, major storm water drain or in a lowlying area, you may be at risk from floods. https://bit.ly/2GNdCO3

04.01.2022 Fire Spread Prediction for Friday 10 January 2020 Severe to Extreme fire danger is forecast for parts of NSW tomorrow, including southern areas of the state. Te...mperatures are forecast to be in the high 30s to low 40s with hot, dry north-westerly winds and low humidity. A south-westerly change will impact inland fires tomorrow afternoon and evening, and a gusty southerly change will impact coastal fires from late tomorrow evening, reaching Nowra around midnight. These conditions will make fire behaviour erratic and dangerous. This map display the potential predicted fire spread and the communities that may come under threat from embers or fire fronts. Other surrounding areas may still come under threat if conditions change, or if fires breach containment lines. There may potentially be new fires burning in these areas that we do not yet know about, which may threaten you without warning. Potential spread area - if your plan is to leave or you are not prepared, you should not be in this area on Friday. Move to a large town outside this area, or if you are on the South Coast, move to an area that has already been burnt or go to the beach. Stay away from the red areas. Potential ember attack area - You are still at risk. If your plan is to leave or you are not prepared, you should not be in this area on Friday. New fires could start and spread quickly. If you are in the general areas identified on this map, be vigilant for new fires that may start well ahead of the fire front.

01.01.2022 Floodwater may be deeper and faster flowing than it appears and often contains hidden snags and debris. Even if a flooded road does not have a 'road closed' or... 'road flooded sign', it is still unsafe to travel through floodwater. Never drive ride or walk through floodwater - if it's flooded, forget it.

01.01.2022 Brolly time? NSW SES had a chat with Bureau of Meteorology and they’ve told us that the east coast can expect some rain developing later today with th...e chance of a thunderstorm. Over the next day or two, rain combined with a shift in prevailing wind direction should clear the smoke haze that’s been about much of Sydney and other areas. Possible short bursts of rainfall may create hazardous driving conditions later today, but at this stage severe thunderstorms are unlikely for Sunday. Lazy Sunday’s... before the rain... a good time to check your gutters and drains and #getready for Summer #StormSeason Of course, if you need us for emergency assistance due to storm damage, we are only a call away on 132 500. In the meantime, many of our Vertical Rescue operators are training at our headquarters and on Mt Keira while it’s dry. We’ll share some pics later on IMAGE: Forecast areas for likelyhood of severe thunderstorms.
