Today, NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet, Deputy Premier Paul Toole, and Minister for Police and Emergency Services, David Elliott, visited Forbes with NSW State Emergency Service Commissioner Carlene York.

While visiting the flood-affected town, the Premier, Minister and Commissioner spoke with and thanked all the volunteers that had been supporting the community.

Over the past week, more than 100 volunteers have been supporting the community, while more than 200 spontaneous volunteers have offered their support too.

Flood warnings are still in place for the area and further updates and warnings are likely to be issued over the next few days.

Everyone living or visiting the area are urged to be vigilant as many roads are impacted by floodwater. If anyone does come across floodwater, do not attempt to drive, walk or ride through it. Simply stop, and find another way around.
