We're wrapping up today's live coverage of the flooding crisis in NSW.

In the meantime, be sure to monitor updates on NSW SES's Hazard Watch map and the Bureau of Meteorology website.

Thanks for following us.

Alex Berke has lived opposite the Hastings River in Port Macquarie for two decades and is now cleaning up after his 4th flood.

Most recently he was impacted by major flooding in 2021.

"It's just losing things," Mr Berke says.

He says he's still without power, which is making it difficult to start cleaning up.

"You need electricity… to start getting all the sludge off," he says.

After days of torrential rain and flooding, residents returning home are now wading through the big clean-up process.

Geoff Gill is a commercial landlord in Kempsey and his three properties have had water through them this week.

He says some small businesses who are already struggling may not survive after disasters like this.

"They'll be gone. You know they can't afford to keep rebuilding," Mr Gill says.

"And how power prices are and the whole works, it's just killing little businesses, it's killing little towns."

Footage supplied by Fire and Rescue NSW shows crews rescuing people and their dogs from a flooded, isolated farm near Kempsey, on the state’s mid-north coast.

The crew used a triangulation navigation app to identify the farmstead and paddled two hours in its rescue boat to reach a man in his 60’s, and a 32-year-old woman.

With water nearly two metres above road level, parts of the Macleay Valley looked more like an inland lake earlier this week. 

Farmers moved cattle and livestock to higher ground while they could, but many animals remain stranded. 

The floodwaters around Frederickton and Kempsey are slowly receding but locals say it will take weeks before they can access their properties.

ABC reporter Claire Simmonds witnessed a boat rescue in Kempsey's CBD.  

She says a car was flooded and an elderly couple and their dog were rescued by SES crews.

We're just hearing that New South Wales authorities have just downgraded all emergency-level warnings. 

That means all flood zones across the state are now no longer categorised as posing the most-severe risk.

There still remain more than 50 Watch and Act level alerts, which you can check via the link below.

We're hearing from senior BOM meteorologist Jonathan How on ABC News Channel for an update on the latest in the weather.

He's saying that while there is no expectation of further rain in New South Wales today, the official advice is that people in flooded areas should still be mindful of any warnings in place and river levels that are still quite high.

Mr How also said that after this week's flooding rains, one of the highest deluge totals seen was in Comboyne, inland south-west of Port Macquarie — more than 700mm has fallen there over several days.

Other locations like Taree received as much as 500mm in the same amount of time.

Looking forward, Mr How says this week could bring a potential danger linked to large swells off the NSW coastline, which could add to low-lying flooding as more rain rolls in for some parts on Monday and Tuesday.

NSW SES Deputy Commissioner Daniel Austin says emergency services is working as "quickly as possible" to lift warnings still in place.

"The community wants to get back in and the community wants us to lift those warnings," he says.

There's currently 400 inhabitable or destroyed properties, Mr Austin says. 

He says while the impact of the flooding event is significant, the overall lost of life is "relatively small". 

"We don't want any further hurt and we certainly don't want any further fatalities," he says.
