The Public Information and Inquiry Centre (PIIC), has been activated to support the severe weather operation, NSW Police say.
The Public Information and Inquiry Centre can be contacted by calling 1800 227 228.
Members of the public can contact the Public Information and Inquiry Centre for information relating the severe weather and flooding.
Deputy State Emergency Operations Controller, Acting Assistant Commissioner Kyle Stewart, has appealed for the public to not become complacent as the current weather conditions are likely to deteriorate.
"We are going to experience over the next 48 hours increased rainfall and heavy winds – the public needs to take care in these conditions," Acting Assistant Commissioner Stewart said.
"I appeal to everyone to heed the warnings and advice of the NSW State Emergency Service and all emergency services.
"Our message is clear – do not put your life or that of emergency service personnel in danger.
"Floodwater is extremely dangerous as it can have fast moving undercurrents that can wash people and vehicles away. Everyone should always remember to never drive, ride or walk through floodwater," he said.
