South Coast fires: Public info hotline 1800 227 228

NSW Police has announced a Public Information and Inquiry Centre (PIIC), has been opened to assist members of the public in relation to bushfire information for the South Coast areas.

The telephone number to call is 1800 227 228.

NSW Police Deputy Commissioner Gary Worboys asked people to use the information and inquiry only when they needed to.

"It is an opportunity for people who have concerns about the fire and about the information that they're not sure in terms of where they should go or what they should do," he said.

"This is not about people trying to shore up arrangements when there is already information out there to assist them. There will be no information shared with the public in terms of road, in terms of power, in terms of communications."

Members of the public are reminded to delay all non-essential travel in fire-affected areas to assist emergency services.

Information specifically relating to the bushfires can be obtained by contacting the Bush Fire Information Line on 1800 679 737.

Monitor emergency websites, including www.rfs.nsw.gov.au, as well as your regular media news sources for updated advice and warnings.
