The NSW SES has been focusing on getting the communities of North Moree, Bendygleet and Gwydirfield; affected by Evacuation Orders back into their properties today.

Approximately 300 homes suffered over-flood flooding and the clean-up efforts began today in force. The NSW SES was supported by Fire and Rescue NSW as well as members from the Rural Fire Service in hosing out affected properties, while NSW SES members assisted residents with removal of carpets and damaged goods.

There are still extensive isolations across the state, with figures around the 7000 mark. These communities include rural properties on the mid north coast, Wee Waa, Goodooga, rural properties in the Macquarie Region and Pallamallawa.

There are still Evacuation orders in place for Pallamallawa and Biniguy, affecting about 680 people.

With floodwater moving downstream, the NSW SES will be shifting its focus to those communities that will be next impacted including Mungindi, Walgett, Collarenabri, Brewarrina and Bourke. Flooding is expected to impact these communities next week and into late February and March.

Since Wednesday, the NSW SES has received more than 4015 calls to the Communications Centre in Wollongong for flood-related enquiries. These include road information, requests for assistance and flood rescue requests.

With localized flooding still affecting a lot of communities, people are being reminded that for the most up-to-date road closure information, they should be contacting the RTA (for major roads) and local councils for local road information.

With the clean-up from flooding well underway for some communities, people are reminded that floodwater contains contaminates and should be treated as hazardous. They can refer to the Flood update- health and safety advice page of the NSW Government website.

Resupply will continue to be a focus for the NSW SES, with isolated communities being encouraged to contact 132 500 first if they do require resupply for essential items, medical requirements or fodder drops.

Motorists are being reminded that while it may not be raining and conditions may be improving, flooded roads are still dangerous and may have been washed out or suffered surface damage that is not visible. Under no circumstances should people enter floodwater- it is often deeper, contains snags and debris and faster flowing than it appears.

If you require assistance from the SES, please call 132 500. Call 000 immediately in life-threatening situations.
