Marine Rescue flood assistance continues as renewed flooding looms

Marine Rescue NSW are continuing to assist NSW SES with the ongoing flood response.

Today MR Point Danger will be delivering diesel fuel to Murwillumbah with MR Brunswick delivering unleaded fuel to Murwillumbah and Mullumbimby.

After access and technology issues, both the MR Point Danger and MR Ballina bases are again operational. Evans Head crews have now stood down from staffing the local evacuation centres, however, they continue to assist the local SES where required.

MR Iluka Yamba and Yamba Welding and Engineering are continuing to assist at Maclean with resupply and the transport of isolated persons.

Marine Rescue NSW assistance on the lower Hawkesbury River at Wisemans ferry is now complete.

Further heavy rain on the Mid North Coast and around the Hunter and Sydney Metro is expected to result in renewed rises and possible additional assistance.
