SES Flood Watches

The NSW SES has issued flood watches for the Shoalhaven region with heavy rainfall recorded overnight.

Isolated thunderstorms would add to these totals and increase the likelihood of flash flooding.

Catchments included in the Flood Watch include Shoalhaven and Clyde Rivers, St George’s Basin and Sussex Inlet where a very high tide will add water to the local areas.

What you need to do:

Avoid unnecessary travel, move indoors, bring children and pets with you.

Park your car under secure cover and away from trees, powerlines and drains.

If safe to do so, secure or put away items, such as outdoor furniture, trampolines and roofing iron that could blow around in strong winds.

Grab your emergency kit in case you lose power or need to leave your home.
