The SES don’t ask for praise, but they deserve it.
They’ve been on the ground in NSW through rising waters, making sure communities have the support and information they need.
In the worst of times, we see the very best of the Australian character.
Today I visited NSW SES in Maitland for a briefing and to say thank you.
Conditions are still changing and dangerous. You can stay up to date with warnings using the ‘Hazards Near Me’ app, and I urge everyone to follow advice.
Tragically, four people have lost their lives in these devastating floods. My heart is with all the families and communities impacted.
Australia will continue to stand with you every step of the way.
