The SES is advising people in low lying areas of Muswellbrook to monitor conditions on the Hunter River.
Warnings are being regularly updated on the SES website and Facebook page and the latest weather information is on the Bureau of Meteorology website.
The Hunter River at Muswellbrook peaked at 6.57 metres around midday Tuesday and is currently around 5.72 metres and falling, below the minor flood level of 7.20 metres.
It’s expected to remain below the minor flood level, but there could be some local road and bridge closures.
There could also be damage to local roads, bridges or buildings caused by flooding and landslip.
Some residents may need to make alternate arrangements for work and travel.
We are being reminded not to drive, walk, ride through, play or swim in floodwater because it could be dangerous and void car insurance.
The SES is also reminding us to avoid storm drains and pipes, ditches, ravines, creeks, and rivers.
