Residents in parts of North Richmond, Camden, Chipping Norton and Warwick Farm told to evacuate with thousands more in city’s north-west preparing to leave
“This is our worst fears,” the NSW deputy premier, Paul Toole, said earlier on Wednesday evening. “It will get worse before it gets better.”
“We just recently issued an evacuation order for the area in North Richmond downstream of the Redbank Dam because it may fail,” York said. “I want all those residents to make sure they do evacuate from that area.” “Along the Hawkesbury and Lower Nepean Rivers major flooding is also possible from overnight Wednesday into Thursday at Penrith, North Richmond, Windsor and downstream based on forecast rainfall.”Sign up to receive an email with the top stories from Guardian Australia every morning
