The NSW government is upgrading its flood rescue fleet after a record year of flooding in 2022.
The state will deliver almost 200 new vehicles and vessels to the State Emergency Service worth $25 million.
The upgrade to the fleet comes after recommendations from the 2022 NSW Flood Inquiry to meet the growing threat of extreme weather events.
Last year, the NSW SES conducted more than 3,800 flood rescues and logged more than one million volunteer hours.
This made it the busiest year on record.

I wonder what was the cause behind the record flooding?
But Global boiling. Lol.
Weather warfare
Two hundred new vehicles….Will they be carbon neutral?Electric vehicles?
Ask Dutch or Chinese if no one knows how to stops floods- dams, reservours, big artificial lakes must be built, otherwise criminal negligence
Don't fix the cause slap another band aid on the problem for the next government or catastrophic failure
Or build your streets like they do in South Florida all the streets in South Florida, are mostly above 5 feet.
The 1867 flood up the Nepean River in Western Sydney was WAY BIGGER!
