Storms and flooding can be unexpected and can come with little warning. If you live in an area that will be affected, or will continue to be affected, by heavy rainfall, strong winds and flash flooding, it's important to know what to do before, during and after an extreme weather event. 

WHAT TO KNOW

The ABC Emergency website is your online destination for up-to-date emergency warnings and advice from across Australia.

Find incidents close to your location, or check on emergencies that may affect family and friends in other parts of the country. Every search will connect you with the nearest local ABC Radio service, providing emergency coverage and information when it’s needed most.

For comprehensive reporting on extreme weather events in your local area and across Australia visit ABC NEWS.

FIND LOCAL INCIDENTS

Electricity supply is often affected by natural disasters and in the immediate aftermath conditions can be dangerous for power workers with extended outages stretching to days or even weeks. You can find information about how to deal with an extended power outage and what to do here. 

Make sure to have a battery-operated radio so you can still access emergency information updates on your local ABC Radio frequency.

This year we have seen catastrophic floods across the country, destroying homes and livelihoods across NSW and QLD. As flooding again returns to NSW, for thousands affected across these regions the long journey to clean-up and recovery will begin once again.

If you would like to support these communities, ABC Radio has compiled a list of organisations who are accepting donations or goods in both states.
