Communities still cut off but downpour eases
Posted
Communities in north-west New South Wales remain isolated by floodwaters, despite heavy rain easing.
A severe weather warning has now been cancelled for eastern parts of Northern Tablelands, Northern Rivers and in the northern parts of Mid North Coast.
State Emergency Service spokeswoman Erin Pogmore says crews will monitor the river conditions and communities closely.
"There are still properties that are isolated as a result of the rains that we've been having since Christmas Day and those properties will continue with their isolation," she said.
"The communities that are isolated are very prepared and have been checked on to make sure they do have supplies to see them through their isolation."
