7 MORE DISASTER ZONES NAMED AS AUSTRALIA FLOODS CONTINUE
DEC 24 2010
7 more natural disaster areas have been declared in New South
Wales as the worst flooding in years shows no signs of letting up over
Christmas.
Heavy rain that caused the flooding has cleared from most parts of the state,
but the lower reaches of many inland rivers continue to rise, swamping roads
and isolating communities.
The seven areas declared disaster areas today were Wentworth, Wakool, Snowy
River, Tumbarumba, Balranald and Narrandera shire council regions in the
state's southwest and Blayney, in the central west.
It means there are now 49 natural disaster areas, each qualifying for
Commonwealth and state cash.
The State Emergency Service (SES), which has carried out 150 rescues since the
flooding began in late November, said it is well placed to continue helping
communities over Christmas.
"Many SES volunteers and staff are already active helping rural properties and
small communities isolated by floodwaters," SES commissioner Murray Kear said.
"This will continue over the holiday period with the SES ready to assist
should further heavy rain or storms occur."
