The Salvation Army Emergency Services (SAES) has continued assisting communities in flood recovery efforts throughout the NSW Mid North Coast region.

With 50,000 people impacted by record flooding that has isolated towns, 40 SAES volunteers have served 700 meals over 450 volunteer hours. SAES has assisted 16 response hubs and is now in the process of dispatching volunteers to four recovery hubs today and another one tomorrow.

The recovery hubs are located in Taree, Kempsey, Port Macquarie, Macksville and Maitland.

Staff and volunteers are working in tandem with the New South Wales Reconstruction Authority to deliver timely services where they are most needed. SAES values meaningful relationships with governments and first responder agencies and advocates through connections with businesses, academic and not-for-profit forums.
