State Storm Plan
Many different types of weather system can produce storms which cause danger, damage and disruption in New South Wales. In terms of property damage, storms cause greater losses to the community than any other single hazard agent with the exception of floods. It has been estimated that during the 1990s the total damage done by storm activity was more than $5,000,000,000 ($5 billion). About two thirds of the total 1990s storm damage bill for the state occurred as a result of three very severe hailstorms over Sydney, but there was also very severe storm damage in various other parts of the state during the decade.
