“You must evacuate before this time because forecasted heavy rainfall will close evacuation routes,” the SES said.
“If you remain in the area, you may become trapped without power, water, and other essential services. It may be too dangerous for NSW SES to rescue you, and buildings may not be able to withstand the impact of flood water.”
Specific roads and streets have been told to evacuate, and can be found here.
