The NSW State Emergency Service (SES) is an emergency and rescue service dedicated to assisting the community. It is made up almost entirely of volunteers, with 228 units located throughout New South Wales. With over 10,000 volunteer members, who are easily identifiable by their distinctive orange overalls - we live work and serve our community. While our major responsibilities are for flood and storm operations, the SES also provides the majority of general rescue effort in the rural parts of the state. This includes road accident rescue, vertical rescue, bush search and rescue, evidence searches (both metropolitan and rural) and other forms of specialist rescue that may be required due to local threats. Volunteers in a number of isolated communities have been trained as Community First Responders by the Ambulance Service of New South Wales. The Service's trained rescuers also support the full-time emergency services during major disasters.

A national test of AusAlert is happening on Monday 27 July 2026 at around 2pm AEST.
During the test, all compatible mobile devices in Australia will receive an alert at about the same time.

The AusAlert national test will be a Critical Alert. This means you’ll receive it even if your device is on ‘silent’ or ‘do not disturb’. The alert may stay active for up to an hour.

AusAlert messages share important information, but they could make hidden safety devices easier to find.

If it’s not safe to receive the AusAlert national test on your devices:
⏰ Turn them off or put them in aeroplane mode at least one hour before the test.
📱 Keep them off or in aeroplane mode for 24 hours after the test.

Following the national test, if it’s not safe to receive AusAlerts on your hidden devices at any time, keep them turned off or in aeroplane mode until you need to use them.

If you’re concerned about your immediate safety, call 000.
If you have concerns for your safety and would like further advice or support, call 1800RESPECT (1800 737 732).
For Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander services, call 13YARN (13 92 76).

Communities in Northeastern NSW should monitor conditions as flash flooding and minor river rises are possible.

Widespread rainfall is forecast across the state today, before shifting to eastern areas, particularly the Mid North Coast and Northern Rivers, during the first half of Tuesday. Moderate rainfall totals of 40-70mm are likely, with locally heavy falls of 100-150mm possible with slow-moving thunderstorms.

⚠️ With the predicted rainfall, minor flooding is possible across Northeastern catchments including the Richmond, Wilsons, Orara, Bellinger and Nambucca Rivers and Coffs Creek.

NSW SES has issued four advice-level warnings for people in Bellingen, Coutts Crossing, Coffs Harbour, Thora and surrounds to stay informed.

🚘 Flash flooding can occur quickly and without much warning. Steer clear of floodwaters – if you come across a flooded road, turn around and find an alternative route.

📲 Download the Hazards Near Me app to stay across the latest information and warnings and set up a watch zone so you are notified with local warnings.

If you need assistance during storms of floods, call the NSW SES on 132 500. In a life-threatening emergency, always call triple zero (000).
