One week on from the tragic events at Bondi Beach, we remember those who lost their lives and continue to hold their loved ones, and all those impacted by this event, in our thoughts.

NSW SES pays its respects to those we have lost, their families and friends, and the Jewish community during this profoundly difficult time 🕯️🐝

15/12/2025

The NSW SES extends our deepest condolences to the victims, families, friends and loved ones affected by yesterday’s tragic attack at Bondi Beach.

We acknowledge the extraordinary bravery shown by emergency services and everyday Australians who, in the face of danger, put others first.

The NSW SES stands in solidarity with the Jewish community and all those impacted by this horrific event.

Today, we join the nation and the world in mourning. The road to recovery will be long, but we will walk it together, with strength and unity.

The Bureau of Meteorology is advising that much of NSW is at risk of thunderstorm activity today, with some regions likely to experience severe storms.

Large hail, damaging winds, and intense rainfall are possible across the western ranges, slopes and plains, as well as parts of the northern and central coast. Some storm cells may produce heavy, slow-moving rainfall, leading to flash flooding, particularly across the Illawarra, Sydney Metropolitan Area, Hunter and southern Mid North Coast.

Please remember: If it’s flooded, forget it.

Thunderstorms are already active in parts of Sydney, the Illawarra and the Alpine region, and storm activity may continue late into tonight and into early Saturday, with a possible redevelopment of storms in the far west as a cold front approaches. Conditions can change quickly, and storms may form with little notice, so please stay alert for updates. We’ll continue to share new information as it becomes available.

We’re encouraging everyone to take a few moments now to get storm ready
• Secure or pack away loose outdoor items
• Park vehicles away from trees where possible
• Clear gutters and drains
• Trim low or overhanging branches that could cause damage in strong winds

For assistance from NSW SES, call 132 500.

For life-threatening emergencies, call 000 immediately.
Stay safe, everyone. 🌩️⚡️

No shortcut is worth risking your life, or theirs. 💧🚗🚫

Floodwater might look calm, but it hides fast currents and dangers beneath the surface. It's not worth risking the lives of you or your loved ones.

Turn around and of floods.
