Meanwhile, Member for Upper Hunter Dave Layzell has joined with the State Emergency Service in encouraging residents get their emergency kit together especially as the start of the new storm season draws closer.
"Having an emergency kit can help save precious time providing you with essential items you might need if you lose power and need to evacuate your home in a hurry," Mr Layzell said.
Include a portable radio with spare batteries, a torch with spare batteries, a first aid kit with supplies necessary for your household, candles and waterproof matches, important papers including emergency contact numbers and a waterproof bag for valuables.
The official storm season runs from October to March each year, however severe weather can strike at any time.
