With storm season in full swing the NSW State Emergency Service is urging everyone to update their Hazards Near Me app.
The app already sends emergency warnings and advice for fires, floods and tsunami but now the range of alerts includes severe weather warnings such as thunderstorms, flash flooding and heavy rainfall such as recently experienced frequently on the Central Coast.
The SES says having notifications on your phone via the Hazards Near Me app is crucial.
Set up watch zones to get notified with a pop-up notification which includes critical safety information on how to prepare and what to do during the weather event.
Download the app, or update the Hazards Near Me NSW app to stay in the loop so you are ready for whatever nature throws your way.
