A State Emergency Operations Centre (SEOC) has been reactivated in the Sydney suburb of Homebush in response to the ongoing flood emergency in New South Wales (NSW).

The AEOC acts as a central hub where officers from all NSW Government response agencies can gather under one roof to ensure a coordinated response to the flooding and extreme weather affecting much of the state.
