PLEASE PLAN AHEAD NOW!

🚨We are urging the community to plan ahead for the heavy rainfall expected to impact the Central Coast and surrounding areas over the next few days.

⚠️🌧 The Bureau of Meteorology has forecast intense rail falls over the next several days. This may cause flash flooding in some areas as seen in previous years.

⚠️ARE YOU READY?⚠️

🍂Are your gutters, downpipes and drains cleared?
🛠️Has any damage to your roof been fixed, including broken or missing tiles?
🌲Trim trees and branches that could fall on your property.

A little work now might save you a big headache later!

🚗❌🌊Again we strongly urge people to not attempt to drive, ride or walk or play in floodwaters.



☎️ If you require the assistance of the NSW SES during floods and storms call us on 132 500
