This morning, the Wilsons River peaked at 6.78 metres and is falling, with minor flooding in parts of North Lismore and flooding on some low lying rural roads.

The NSW SES expects that people upstream of the Rowing Club River Gauge should allow for a level at least half a metre higher than the gauge reading - due to the flood slope.

The Bureau of meteorology has also cancelled the Severe Weather Warning for the Northern Rivers forecast district.

The SES advises that if you are in an area and your property or business is likely to be impacted by flooding, consider raising moveable items, such as furniture, as high as possible onto benches or tables and place electrical items on top.

You should also secure outside belongings and before leaving; turn off the power, water and take essential medicines and clothes with you.

Monitor emergency warnings and severe weather updates.

Never drive, ride or walk through flood water.

Monitor equipment and livestock and move machinery, livestock, pumps and fodder including waste and chemical containers to well above predicted flood levels.

For emergency help in floods and storms, call the NSW State Emergency Service on 132 500. In life threatening situations call triple zero (000) immediately.

Please stay safe as water recedes and remember to never drive through floodwater.
