You should stay informed by monitoring warnings issued by NSW SES on their website, HazardWatch and Facebook pages, the Hazards Near me mobile app, local radio or television, and by following the latest weather information from the Bureau of Meteorology online.

This warning applies to communities in NSW. Emergency warnings and advice are issued separately by each state. For Queensland-specific warnings and advice, visit disaster.qld.gov.au/current-warnings.

What you need to do:
- Vessels which remained out to sea may now return to shore with caution. Be aware of debris on or below the water surface, unusual waves, currents and tides, along with possible damage to marinas and moorings.
- Drive slowly, plan your route carefully to avoid any flooded roads and allow extra travel time. Damage to roads, bridges or buildings caused by the tsunami may still exist in your area. Avoid coastal roads if possible.
- Be aware of road hazards including mud and debris.
- Remain vigilant as there could still be water in low lying areas.
