Support by Marine Rescue NSW to the flooding in inland NSW continues, with 87 members now having deployed, volunteering around 5,000 hours towards the flood response.
Four Marine Rescue NSW members deployed to Parkes and Forbes have now driven to Moulamein in the western Riverina as the situation in the Forbes area has eased. This means that there are now Marine Rescue NSW crews in Moulamein, Brewarrina and Deniliquin. At the next crew rotation on Tuesday the Deniliquin crew will not be replaced, leaving Moulamein and Brewarrina as the only deployed locations.
Moulamein update
The current crew of four is arriving in Moulamein today, and is anticipated to be used for transportation and resupply by SES vessel.
Brewarrina update
The current crew of four have been conducting transportation and resupply by vessel. Water levels are now falling, with fewer homes expected to be isolated and require this service in coming days.
Deniliquin update
The current crew of two were yesterday tasked with conducting a flood damage assessment along the Murray between Tocumwal and Ulupna, approximately 50km of river.
With floodwaters moving downstream, it is anticipated that support to the NSW SES flood response will continue into the new year.
