18.01.2022 IF IT’S FLOODED, FORGET IT NEVER ENTER FLOODWATER TURN AROUND, DON’T DROWN You’ve heard these messages before, right?... As heavy rain falls across the north of the state over the coming days, flash flooding may occur in some areas and some roads may be covered by floodwaters. Can you be 100% sure of how deep the water is, how fast undercurrents may be, what debris or obstacles might be hidden or if the road is still intact and strong enough to carry the weight of your vehicle? Now is the time to take notice of all the safety messages you’ve heard and turn around if you encounter a flooded road. Please don’t take risks and be our next flood rescue statistic. Our SES volunteers thank you FloodSafe advice is available at www.ses.nsw.gov.au Latest Weather, Warnings, Rainfall and River heights: ww.bom.gov.au/nsw/ Road Closures: RMS website www.livetraffic.com.au , 131 701 or on the Regional Road Information website www.myroadinfo.nsw.gov.au For emergency help in floods and storms, call the NSW State Emergency Service on 132 500.

17.01.2022 The NSW SES is monitoring the ever changing situation in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic. The safety and well-being of our members, and the wider community is... our highest priority. The NSW SES is implementing a number of measures to ensure the continuity of our operations and support our volunteers. Following advice from NSW Health, participation in non-essential community events, large meetings and ceremonies will be suspended. Volunteer training will be scaled back, but essential training will continue to maintain operational readiness. The NSW SES will continue to support communities become better prepared for severe weather events, and respond to communities in need over the coming months. When calling for emergency help during floods and storms, the NSW SES may ask you for additional information, including whether you are currently in isolation or have cold / flu symptoms so our volunteers can take additional safety precautions. We appreciate your assistance during this time. #NSWSES #covid19

15.01.2022 Wet weekend ahead with possible severe weather! Good time to prep your home now The BOM forecasters suggest that a Coastal Low will develop on the weekend, w...ith central and northern parts of the NSW coast currently being the most favoured areas to affect. Please note: 1. It is too early to pin-point precisely how the low will develop, and its exact location and intensity will drive the final impact. 2. Depending on how close to the NSW coast the low develops, and how long it lingers, there is potential for severe weather conditions, such as: Areas of heavy rainfall, causing road and riverine flooding. Locally damaging winds, strong enough to bring down trees and powerlines mainly near the coast. Large and powerful waves, resulting in hazardous beach conditions and the potential for coastal erosion. NOW is a good time to prepare your home while the weather is good. Quick Tips.... Check and clean your gutters Secure any outdoor items including furniture and trampolines Move your vehicle and don't park under branches or trees.
