MTA NSW sincerely hopes that you have not been adversely affected by the current floods that have resulted in loss of property on the coastal regions of NSW where a natural disaster has been declared in certain Local Government Areas (LGA’s). MTA NSW recommends keeping up to date with Evacuation Measures and potentially new areas of concern in NSW through the live updates on the SES – State Emergency Service Website
