Businesses can stay informed and access practical guidance through the NSW Government’s central hub for Flood recovery updates. This includes information on returning safely to flood-affected areas, what to do with waste and accessing Recovery Centres and Evacuation Centres.
For those facing urgent needs, Health and welfare support is in place to provide emergency accommodation, food, medical supplies, connections to social services and support for landholders needing urgent animal welfare assistance.
Small businesses may be eligible for support after a natural disaster. Information on financial loans is available on Financial support for businesses and primary producers.

This includes a quick-reference guide to recovery, a comprehensive recovery toolkit and tips for making an insurance claim (make sure to take clear photos of all damage and damaged items before starting any clean-up).
