While conditions ease across much of NSW today, SES says damaging winds may persist in some areas.

Emergency warnings at Sanctuary Point and Burrill Lake have been downgraded, and damaging winds are expected to calm “significantly” today as the low moves east into the Tasman Sea, NSW SES said in an update.

More than 2,000 NSW SES volunteers and emergency service partners have been involved in the response. Three storm teams have also deployed from the ACT SES to assist affected communities.
