Flood, storm and tsunami (natural hazards) can happen at any time in NSW. It is important to be aware of the risks in your area to help you to plan, prepare, respond and recover effectively. Understanding past and potential future hazards in your area helps you to make informed decisions that can reduce the impact on individuals, families, businesses and communities.

The local information page provides valuable resources for your Local Government Area (LGA). You can explore flood information for your local river catchment through Local Flood Insights, access local flood plans and guides, and connect with local councils and NSW SES units.

You can also stay updated with the latest news and events in your area and find useful links to help you and your community prepare for emergencies.

Local Flood Insights

The Local Flood Insights tool offers an overview of flood-prone areas, historic flood events, and modelled flood risks through detailed maps, data and community stories. This website-based platform combines flood inundation mapping, photos and personal accounts from local residents about the impacts of past floods and ways to prepare for future floods.

This information is useful to community members, travellers, or anyone wanting to learn more about local flooding. Explore NSW SES Local Flood Insights to make informed decisions about flood safety and preparedness.
