Wet weather had our unit on alert with potential minor flooding forecast, but we still found time to engage with students and teachers at Wingham Brush Public School.

The catchment area for this school, includes an area in Wingham that was heavily impacted in last year's 1 in 500 record flood event. Many of the students were rescued from their homes utilising the boat we had on display.

Today was a small part in a bigger student resilience program that has been run by the school to help the student cohort deal with last year's flooding and better prepare them for future flood and storm events.

It was a great opportunity to introduce ourselves in a safe environment, instead of the chaos of a major flooding event.

Wingham and surrounds flooding
Stay informed
Advice

The NSW SES advises people in the following area(s) to STAY INFORMED about predicted minor flooding on the Manning River:

- Wingham and surrounds

You should stay informed by monitoring warnings issued by NSW SES on their website and page, listening to your local ABC radio station, and checking the latest weather information from the Bureau of Meteorology online.

What are we expecting?

The Bureau of Meteorology advises a broad trough over northern and eastern NSW is expected to generate widespread moderate rainfall and thunderstorms over the next few days. A low within the trough is expected to result in heavy rainfall for parts of the Hunter and southern parts of the Mid North Coast from late Thursday.

Minor flooding may develop from overnight Thursday into Friday along the Manning and Gloucester. Uncertainty remains in the location of the heaviest falls, and the Flood Watch area will be revised over the coming days.

Catchments in the flood watch area are moderately wet.

Based on predictions from the Bureau of Meteorology, the following areas may be impacted by dangerous floodwaters:

- Low lying areas adjacent to the river
- Low lying roads, bridges and causeways

Tonight we gathered to recognise WOW Day and celebrate the commitment that our volunteers make to help our community. It was also a night to reflect on the 1 year anniversary of the devastating, record breaking 1 in 500 year flood, that impacted and still impacts our community.

We were joined by Tanya Thompson MP, the Shadow Minister for Emergency Services. We all had a chance to have a robust discussion about our experiences from the May 2025 floods and how the floods still impacts us and the wider community.

We then enjoyed dinner and had a round of SES Monopoly, which was thoroughly enjoyed. Matt Ruff our Unit Commander ended the night as the overall winner.
