22.01.2022 HEADS UP TWEED SHIRE - BEWARE OF FLASH FLOODS TODAY The rain over the weekend across the North Coast has been causing some issues on local roads. We have reports of flash flooding on roads in Crabbes Creek this morning. Please remember never drive through flood water. You don't know what is under the water and if the road is still passable. For the sake of you and your family, take care when you're out and about and avoid or delay any unnecessary travel until the weather clears.

22.01.2022 SES - FLOOD EVACUATION WARNING - Condong, Tumbulgum and Surrounding areas. ISSUED 2pm - 17-12-2020 What is happening: The Bureau of Meteorology is predicting possible flooding for the Tweed River at Tumbulgum, Condong and surrounding areas. As a result residents and visitors to these areas should take action now to prepare for possible flood impacts. NSW SES is advising residents in low lying areas of the following locations that they may need to evacuation due to rising fl...ood water. These areas include: Tumbulgum and surrounding areas Condong and surrounding areas Low lying properties may experience impacts due to flash flooding and/or riverine flooding. Due to flooding: Tweed Valley Way to the north at Mohomad’s corner in the vicinity of Stotts Island is closed Tweed Valley Way to the south at Dinseys Creek is closed Terranora Road in North Tumbulgum may close Storm and flood impacts may interrupt essential services such as electricity, phones, internet, water and sewerage. People in these areas need to closely monitor weather and road closures and make informed decisions early based on individual circumstances. Residents should monitor the situation and be prepared to evacuate when instructed to do so. A Flood Evacuation Order will be issued by the NSW SES if and when evacuations are required. Where to go if Evacuation is required: Wherever possible, people should go and stay with family or friends, or make other accommodation arrangements. What we are expecting: Once floodwater begins inundating the area, road access may be cut. If you remain in the area after this time, you may become trapped and it may be too dangerous for NSW SES to rescue you. What you need to do: Simple things you can do now: Lift possessions and important items above the predicted flood height. Take pets, essential items, warm clothes, medicines, insurance documents and valuables with you. Leave as early as possible to avoid restricted roads. Farmers should move animals and livestock to higher ground.
