Make a plan
You need to plan for all possible flood impacts and make decisions on what you will do across different flood scenarios.
Things to think about include:
- What to do, where to go, how to get there and what to take if floods are predicted to submerge your property, or if your area is asked to prepare to evacuate or asked to evacuate immediately.
- What to do and what you need if you will be isolated.
- Can you lift items or sandbag your property? Secure any items that may float.
- Do you need to plan for animals, stock, equipment or other important items?
NSW SES may not be able to rescue you during floods. Plan and prepare so that you can take safe actions during floods.
Make your own emergency plan using the NSW SES Online Emergency Planning Tool or download the Emergency Kit Checklist to help you prepare your emergency kit.
