FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Three well-equipped evacuation centres in flood-affected areas in the Hawkesbury region were prepared to care for an estimated 250 families on Saturday night – but hardly anyone turned up.
The centres in Windsor, North Richmond and Glenorie northwest of Sydney remained almost empty.
A rescue truck was parked on the driveway of the sprawling Baptist Church compound in Windsor.
Inside, volunteers huddled round a square trestle table chatting about the weather and the rain, the main reason they were there.
The dining room had plates and cutlery ready on the table and cooks had food ready.
But at St Matthews Anglican Church, near the closed Windsor Bridge, the operations centre of rescuers from the Special Emergency Services, waited in vain with only a call from a Pitt Town resident requesting them to remove several cattle to safe ground.
So where are they?
“In times like these, people tend to get help from their relatives and friends in the first instance,” Lisa Charet, of the Metropolitan West Family and Community Services, said.
The agency has been in charge of providing 24-hour services and volunteers at the three evacuation centres.
“These centres will remain open all night because we still expect people needing help especially if the rain increases,” Ms Charet said.
Up to 3500 people living near the banks of the Nepean and Hawkesbury rivers had to leave their homes and farms ahead of threatening floodwater.
By nightfall, only four elderly people, two at the church and two at Glenorie RSL Club, turned up at the evacuation centres. Their pet dogs were taken to the local Animal Rescue Centre.
At 4pm, the evacuation centre at Wallacia Golf Club and the Flood Watch on the Wallacia weir bridge were cancelled, Ms Charet said.
The centre was supposed to assist residents in a caravan park along the banks of the weir but nobody turned up, she said.
Mary Andonian, 37, who lives near the church, said several families who live on the Freemans Reach Road, which was closed in the afternoon, had billeted with extended families and friends.
“They have evacuated and moved their farm machinery to higher ground but they’re not going to evacuation centres because they have friends to help them out,” she said.
McGraths Hill resident Shane Moyse says he will worry about evacuating his family and possessions if the water level on Windsor Bridge rises to 15 metres.
“Let’s see how high the water will go. We’re not yet at risk but if it peaks 15 metres, I’d be scared.”
