Heavy rain and damaging winds continue to impact parts of the Northern Rivers and North Coast throughout Saturday, with the NSW State Emergency Service (SES) responding to more than 200 calls for help.

The majority of calls have been for fallen trees, property damage, leaking roofs and storm and flood related incidents.

Two flood rescues have occurred today. The first was at Uki where a vehicle towing a caravan became stuck in a flooded causeway.

Meanwhile at Cougal, a multi-agency operation involving NSW SES, NSW Police, Fire and Rescue NSW, NSW Ambulance and NSW Rural Fire Service was launched after a vehicle became trapped with two adults and a child stuck in rising waters.

All occupants are now safe and well. NSW SES Incident Controller, Superintendent Scott McLennan is urging people to stay vigilant as the severe weather is expected to continue into this evening, with minor riverine and flash flooding possible in many saturated catchments overnight and into Sunday.

“NSW SES is asking residents in low lying areas along the Tweed, Wilsons, Richmond, Orara and Bellinger rivers to prepare for minor flooding, which could result in some isolations,” Superintendent McLennan said.

“We have additional flood rescue specialists, aviation assets and high clearance vehicles on standby."

The NSW SES is reminding people in the impacted areas to download the Hazards Near Me app and set up local watch zones to stay across the latest warnings and information.
