While the rain has eased today, showers and thunderstorms are predicted for the rest of the week and will continue to bring the risk of flash flooding.

What we are expecting:

Lismore is expected to exceed the moderate flood level (7.2m) around 6pm Tuesday.

The Wilsons River level may peak near 8.2m around 2am Wednesday, with moderate flooding.

Based on the prediction provided by the Bureau of Meteorology it is expected the following locations may be affected:

• Properties in Lower North Lismore may be affected.

• A number of low lying rural roads may be flooded.

• People upstream of the Rowing Club River Gauge should allow for a level at least ½ metre higher than the gauge reading due to the flood slope.

• Residents and businesses in the Lismore Basin may experience localised flash flooding prior to river rises.

What you need to do:

People in areas likely to be impacted by flooding need to consider the following:

• Residents and businesses in areas likely to be impacted by flooding in North and South Lismore and the Lismore CBD should relocate immediately to family or friends outside the impact area.

• If you are advised by an emergency services officer to evacuate, please do so.

• If your property/business is at risk of inundation, please raise moveable items, such as furniture, as high as possible onto benches or tables, placing electrical items on top.

• 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 floodwater.

• Farmers are advised to monitor equipment and livestock and should move machinery, livestock, pumps and fodder including waste and chemical containers to well above predicted flood levels.
