Eurobodalla Shire Council advise:
Severe weather warnings remain in place for damaging winds, high seas and heavy rain on the South Coast. It’s wet in the catchment and rivers are high, so local emergency services are watching carefully and preparing.
SES is the lead agency in storms and floods – please follow their advice. As always, Eurobodalla Council is supporting the emergency services however we can.
