The NSW State Emergency Service is an emergency and rescue service dedicated to assisting the community. It is made up almost entirely of volunteers, with 228 units located throughout New South Wales. The units comprise of approximately 10,000 volunteer members, who are easily identified by their distinctive orange overalls. While our major responsibilities are for flood and storm operations, the NSW SES also provides the majority of general rescue effort in the State. This includes road accident rescue, vertical rescue, bush search and rescue, evidence searches (both metropolitan and rural) and other forms of specialist rescue that may be required due to local threats. Volunteers in a number of isolated communities have been trained as Community First Responders by the Ambulance Service of New South Wales. The Service's trained rescuers also support the full-time emergency services during major disasters. The NSW SES also assists other emergency services when they are performing major operations. These services include the NSW Police Force, the NSW Rural Fire Service, the Fire and Rescue NSW and the Ambulance Service of NSW.

This long weekend we’re expecting severe thunderstorms, large hail, heavy rainfall and damaging winds across parts of the state from this evening into Sunday.

Severe thunderstorms are possible across the Central West, South Coast, Illawarra and Sydney from today through to Sunday, before moving northeast early next week.

Thunderstorms could bring flash flooding, damaging winds, and large hail, with heavy rainfall reaching up to 100mm in some areas. Minor flooding is also possible across state river systems.

Residents in the forecast areas should be prepared and follow safety advice:

🔸Clear your drains and gutters
🔸Trim back overhanging trees or branches
🔸Tie down loose items
🔸If you come across a flooded road, steer clear and find an alternative route

📲 Download Hazards Near Me to stay across warnings and if you’re going away, ensure you check the weather at both your destination and at home.

🚗 Remember, double demerits are now in play and the roads may be heavier, so drive to conditions.

If you come across a flooded road, steer clear and find an alternative route.

If you require assistance, call us on 132 500. In life-threatening situations, call Triple Zero (000).

Our region could see between 20 and 50mm of rain over Friday and Saturday. Check out this great video from the Bureau of Meteorology, and clean out your gutters and down pipes before the rain hits. So much better to have that rain flowing into your water tanks than overflowing out of blocked gutters and into your ceiling cavity!
