Members of the public can contact the Public Information and Inquiry Centre for information relating to people impacted by this afternoon's incident.
It will operate on a 24-hour basis for as long as is necessary.
The NSW Police Force has also activated the 'Register Find Reunite' capability, to assist in the registration of those who have been affected by the incident.
Police are encouraging those impacted to register their movements using the Australian Red Cross' 'Register, Find, Reunite' service.
The Register, Find, Reunite website – https://www.redcross.org.au/emergencies/about-register-find-reunite/ –is a National system managed and operated by Australian Red Cross.
It is a service which registers, finds and reunites family, friends and loved ones after an emergency. It allows people to,
- Register to let people know they are safe,
- Find people who may be affected by an emergency and know they are safe, and
- Reunite through a matching process which enables police – with consent – to share details of family and friends with each other.
The PIIC will also be the place to register for people who were forced to leave personal possessions – including vehicles – behind during the emergency. Police warn if may be some days until these can be returned to their owners.
A memorial site is being arranged and will be shared once confirmed.
